Simple problem for someone that knows.

How can I grab an image (GIF or JPEG) (** or just a screen capture), from DivX Movie??? Is there any commercial (freeware/shareware) program available, or there is another known method?

I would be grateful for some useful advices or ideas

IrfanView is a good utility that will let you capture images off the screen. And it does a lot more. And it’s free !

Hi Anna –

Go to Start-Settings-Control Panel-System-Performance-Graphics and set the Graphics Acceleration all the way down. You capture will work.

Don’t forget to set it back where you want it after you are finished with your screen captures.

The programs mentioned earlier both work fine.
