# I might as well post my question here
but if for example I wanted to use a few seconds of a DVD for an animated gif, working with it in Photoshop, what software do I need to capture the sequence from the DVD source and convert to .gif format?

Also freeware cause I is skint


Little Kev to capture your attention

# Not sure how to rip from DVD
but something like bulent's screen recorder will capture the footage from the DVD window. And something like gif movie gear (or anything supporting avi) will let you make a gif from the clip.

CLICK "EXTNS" THEN "SPLIT VIDEO INTO FRAMES" THEN "EXTRACT VIDEORANGE"
But read a tutorial first

# you
could use all sorts of video or frame capture software to do this but the simplest way of capturing small amounts of video would be a screen capture program. I use Snagit 8 personally.

edit:/ plus DVD vob files are simply Mpeg layer 2 files so anything that edits mpeg files will do.

# I was trying to avoid the frame-by-frame screen capture option
on account of the time consumption, but thanks all the same :)

# nah,
snagit offers all sorts of screen capture options and saves to avi from real time capture. It takes as long as the video takes to play as it does to capture it
