I put Shrek2 in my ~2 yr old notebook and brought up the DVD playing software (WinDVD4). Sure enough there was a button labelled capture and clicking it froze a frame in VGA (640x480) resolution. It had an option to save the frame to the hard disk as a .bmp file. I would convert it to a JPEG before I 'd upload it to save space though. MS Windows Media Player 9 seems to support similar functions (though I didn't try it). So in summary with a DVD-ROM on your PC and the right software you could grab a frame or 3 and Photopost them.

If going the digicam route, I'd try a dark room with set the flash to off, use a tripod and set the shutter speed to 1/30 sec (? or slower ?).

I used WinDVD to capture the stills in the "On Golden Pond" thread.

I've also used the Screen Capture function in Paint Shop Pro for things like this. Paint Shop Pro (http://www.jasc.com) is the graphics program I've always used to create graphics and edit pictures for this site. I highly recommend it for anyone who is intimidated by the complexity and high cost of Photo Shop.

Thanks for all the advice! We do have a DVD player on the computer, so there’s the first step. This is new to us, so we will see how it goes. I put the DVD in and it does play. Later Rattlesnake Guy is going to help me try and capture stills and hopefully a clip.

We were able to capture some stills from the film. These shots are definitely better in the movie. The video clip that Rattlesnake Guy was able to capture plays way too fast and is even more jumpy than on the television. It can only be saved as a Giff file, so you will have to wait for the DVD to become available.

Bear Island?

Boat house, not sure where

Boy jumping on boat while watching the boat races at The Weirs

Taken from the film as the Mount is going by

Do you recognize the building in the background?

These little boats look like crazy fun!

The Infamous Aquaplane

thanks for posting the pics, it's great to look back at these old photos. the ski board reminds me of something from the early 80's that we referred to as a "toboggan". it was a bright orange sled that you would stand up on, (or try to) with a ski rope type handle on the front......i think i still have some bruises from it!!!

RG those pictures are great!
I was looking at the boat house you didn't know where it was. Picture No.2.
Could this be the boat house on the left as you are leaving Center Harbor, almost up to One Mile Narrows?
Sure looks like it to me!

Good news. A legendary source

tells me that Lake Winnipesaukee Historical Society has been contacted about this DVD.
Things are moving in the right direction. It's just a matter of time.

I believe that is the condo building at the North end of Meredith Bay. I am not sure the picture is as old as it looks.
