new to dvd burning

I bough a new computer that has a lightscribe double/dual layer 16x16x max,dvd+r/rw drive. I would like to copy some dvds and be able to grab a frame off the dvd(pause the dvd and copy that paused picture). What is the best program that will allow me to do both or 2 programs tha I can use

 

tera1298,

If you wanna take a short/or long clip or even jus take a picture "Snagit" is a great program.

for first time users or newbies I recommend AnyDVD + CloneDVD2 for copying movies that you have! Get a free 21 day trial here:

does great backups and if you buy the program (which they have discounts for Halloweenie!) you'll get free upgrades for life! Works on all the DVDs that are out there!

Snagit is a great program and takes great screen shots! but you might have to adjust your new computer's video settings to use the video capture that snagit has. If I want to just capture a frame I use PowerDVD to view the DVD and it has a picture button that will capture the frame, and/or does video capture, too! it will send it right to a folder or place on your computer as to what you set it for!

I am stumped and I hope that someone can help. I have ben using DVDDecrypter for sometime and all of a sudden it stopped being able to decrypt my movies. I went to DVDFab and that worked well.After decrypting I used Nero Recode to burn. Rarely would I have a disk that wouldn't play in my dvd player. Now, almost every movie I burn works in my computer but not my dvd player. I looked at some other, older, threads and saw one that said something about changing my IDE ATA/ATAPI to DMA. Well, this is where I get stumped. In my device manager, under the IDE I have 4 channels and 2 controllers. I am thinking this is because I have both a cd burner and a dvd burner. I have two primary ide channels and 2 secondary ones.
The first primary has device 0 in which PIO only is the transfer mode and also the current transfer mode. Device 1 has DMA as transfer mode and "not applicable" under current transfer mode.
The 2nd primary channel has DMA in both device 0 and device 1 but has "not available" in current.
The 1st secondary channel has DMA in both device 0 and 1 but in the device 0 current transfer mode it says "Ultra DMA mode 2" and in device 1 it says "Ultra DAM mode 4".
The 2nd secondary channel has, in both device 0 and 1, DMA. In current they both say Not applicable.
I have tried to update all drivers and all state they have the most up to date drivers available.

Also, I have use Memorex and Imation DVD + R's, always and this "NO DVD" in the player just started happening.
If this makes sense to anyone, can you help? Please?
Oh, one last thing. I am unable to change any of the Current transfer modes as they are greyed out.

 

good advise from ddp! don't jump into a thread and start asking for help .......by asking for help in a new thread that you started will assure you that people will respond to just your question!

 

Oh, sorry... I'll do that.
