Taking Screenshots

[george wietor]

If you are using the program powerDVD by cyberlink to play DVDs on your
computer, I believe capturing a screenshot is as easy pressing 'c' on
your keyboard. It may be a little more complicated than that, but there
is definitely the option. I think this is my first post on Kine Japan.
So, hi!
 
George, grand rapids.

Thank You very much for Your advices.
 
I have been searching screenshots on (English) Google and Lycos
before, but these are mostly shots which somehow "promote" the film.
Most of them are photos of the great scenes in the movie (mainly to 
attract audience).
I would like to find some shots which show the whole "expression" of
the movie itself (... damn, hard to describe what I mean ... :-().
Just like the final punch in a box fight is often showed to describe the
whole fight, but You don't get a view of what really went on there all
the
rounds ...
 
Now I am going to search the Japanese search engines You 
mentioned, since I am a little bit afraid of getting trouble with over-
motivated lawyers ... 
 
Greetings,
 
Sven Koerber

If in any way possible, try to find real stills from the films you will
be writing about, even if they come from another website. You'd be
amazed at how many stills you can find online, especially if you search
using a film's kanji title via a Japanese search engine like Google
Japan. If you don't have the kanji title or you're working on a computer
on which you can't type kanji, try typing the film's English title or
romaji title in Google Japan, then check the box that says "search
Japanese sites only" and click on search. Very often you will find a
site that has the kanji title of the film, which you can then cut and
paste back into Google Japan.
 
Film stills are given out by the film's distributor with the aim of
having them used in the media for promotional purposes, so these
pictures are meant to be used in magazines and on websites, etc. Using
those instead of screen shots basically puts you in the clear.
 
The chance of a rights holder demanding money from you because of the
stills you place on your website are fairly slim. In most cases, if they
do find out and they object to the use, you will be asked to remove
them. They're not going to sue you the moment they see such pictures on
your site.
