Dear Screen-L subscribers: I am interested in obtaining the highest quality still image from a digital source, either an external DVD or laser disc player or an internal DVD drive. Does it matter what capture program is used and what platform? In what ways might the quality of the DVD affect the capture? What video settings/image sizes are optimal? Should the image be paused or captured "on the run"? What format/file type/color settings should the image be saved in to retain the most information for a publisher's art department to work with? I'm interested in people's experiences with this for publication purposes. Have any definitive specifications emerged for this process? thanks -- Patricia White Associate Professor, English Literature Chair, Film and Media Studies 500 College Avenue Swarthmore College Swarthmore, PA 19081 (610) 328-8148 ---- For past messages, visit the Screen-L Archives: http://bama.ua.edu/archives/screen-l.html
