Ok I want to make a Background for my desktop, and I want to take a screenshot from a movie, but when the movie (DVD) is in fullscreen and I hit the Print Screen button then paste all I get is black. Is there a freeware program that will allow me to take a screenshot from a [fullscreen] movie?

most dvd player programs have a Capture button/command somewhere in them… that should work for you.

I searched for a capture button for like 20 mins and I didn’t find one. Oh and BTW I just use the powerDVD that came with my computer, so is there another DVD program out there that is good?

Try using WinDVD (Trial version should be fine) and play the DVD and just press P on your keyboard and a screenshot will be saved under the folder Capture where you installed WinDVD(usually c:program fileswindvd).
