DVD Snapshot for Windows

User Reviews

• overpriced one-trick pony

  graham (uk)January 5, 2013

  Pros

  User has the option to be asked what each snapshot will be called, or the button can be set to just take sequentially-numbered snapshots in a pre-specified folder, and using a pre-specified name prefix. (The default starts at snapshot_1.jpg.)

  Cons

  Although the makers speak of being able to get snapshots from AVI, MPEG, VOB and WMV, there's no File Open dialog. It seems one can ONLY get snapshots from such files when they're on a DVD disk. But then, it IS called 'DVD Snapshot', so I can't deny it lives strictly up to its name.

  Summary

  Overpriced for such a one-trick pony. Note that the viewing of the DVD is in a preview window. If you're hoping to be able to watch a full-screen DVD and just hit a keyboard key whenever you want a screenshot, then you'd better carry on with your research, because this one ain't it.

• This is an excellent frame capture product. A keeper!

  Pros

  It has the ability to slow down frames for an easy capture.

  Cons

  Doesn't include a one frame ahead or one frame back feature.

  Summary

  I've used this product for the past four months. Many of the frames I capture were taken from a small boat with plenty of rocking movement. DVD Snap does a very good job in spite of the up and down enviroment.

• Not worth the time and effort to download and use....keep looking.

  Softreview001January 1, 2008

  Pros

  The concept is great. The GUI is intuitive with the right functions.

  Cons

  On the surface, DVD Snapshot reads like a DVD frame capture "perfect solution". Under the hood is another matter. The program downloads and installs fine, however, upon use, the program locks, freezes, and some functions do not work. This reviewer loaded DVD Snapshot on a high-end workstation with 4gb of RAM. One would think this would be plenty of power to run DVD Snapshot. Such is not the case. The program need more work by the author to clean up the bugs and issues. I find DVD Snapshot is not ready for "prime-time", and not worth the effort to load and try. Keep looking and you will find one or two other products that have the same or more functionality than DVD Snapshot, and the other programs actually work as advertised.
