Re: Capturing still images (jpeg) from a TV...?

["Ben Geach" <BenUKHA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I do this using my Hauppauge WinTV card. There is a capture button which
snaps a
JPEG still of whatevers on screen. Works using the RF signal either from
STB, Aerial or
Video feed.  I use the WinTV2000 software . . . with a cheap WinTV card.

HTH,
Ben
