Sort: is there a program to take still images of a commercial blu-ray movie?
Long: Hold to your undies.
I understand the existence of DRM and all this crap, but it really does stop nothing except legitimate uses of legitimate content by legitimate users.
All I want to do is to have some captures of certain shots in my legally acquired blu-ray movies. I want to have the sun dawning over the monolith as my wallpaper, and maybe I'll want to jack off to some of the more lewd shots of HAL 9000's eyes. Who cares.
The problem is that there is apparently no free software (free as in a free lunch) to do something as simple as playing a movie, pausing in the appropiate moment, and capturing the frame. I've searched up and down to no avail I thought I got the solution with MakeMKV and then playing the unencripted movie with VLC and capturing at will. But in the end MakeMKV is 30-day trialware, as AnyDVD HD and other similar software.
However I'm inexperienced and maybe one of you has found a good solution to this. I really don't want to download a 25GiB dump from any P2P network just to get a simple shot of a movie that has costed me $$$.
(And I'd like to find the solution before the arrival of "trusted" computing  )
TIA
