Good news!

I bought a new computer that has a blu-ray drive in it and that has much more hard drive space. I spent yesterday getting it all set up for screen capturing both movie files and blu-ray discs. I can finally start working on getting those caps from all my seasons of Lost!

More Blu-ray pictures coming soon! Yay!

I just had to announce that I bought LOST season 3 on Blu-ray, so I'll be frame dumping my heart out. I won't be able to post them all since they are each such large files but I will post some of the best ones from each episode. ;-)

I can't wait till season 5 is released on Blu-ray. I think I'll sell my soul for that one if I don't have the cash when it's released in December. LOL

The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight, one of the best movies I have seen and a truly great experience to view in 1080p Blu-ray form on a very large TV. I highly recommend it!

Nestor plays Gotham City's own Mayor Anthony Garcia. Of course I wish he had more screen time, his hair looks fantastic in this movie.

Up next... BD screencaps from The Dark Knight

Before I post all the caps, I wanted to quickly show the difference between DVD and Blu-ray screencaps.

I own The Dark Knight on DVD, as I did not own a Blu-ray player when the movie came out. So I of course grabbed some images from my DVD with my PowerDVD software. Then I was given a Blu-ray Rom as a gift, what a great gift, my first Blu-ray player! Anyways... I borrowed a friends Blu-ray copy and I quickly discovered there is no easy way to capture frames from a Blu-ray movie. After a lot of trial and error and nearly pulling every hair out my head, I ended up finding two ways to get images from a Blu-ray disc. Below I will show a very similar frame in the movie in DVD form and Blu-ray (using MPlayer to get the actual frame of the movie.)

First we have DVD, I used PowerDVD to take the screenshot (click for full size):



Now we have the gloriousness of the Blu-ray frame (click for full size):
