Re-authoring a DVD that uses still menu's(foreign language). Used numenu4u to break everything down and make it easy to put back together again in Scenarist. The still menu's are broken up into 4 120KB m2v's - obviouslly just pictures. Loading them in MPC shows that its just the still image used for the menu. Trying to open them in photoshop has been problematic - Aside from print-screening/screen-capturing the m2v and then editing that in photoshop, is there a practical means or getting the image from it? And if so, how about bringing them back to m2v so I can attempt a scenarist compile??

(please excuse if this isnt considered "advanced" -- but its hardly the norm for most people).

Just import the m2v-stills into Scenarist. Scenarist will handle them just like every other stillpicture format, and so you can easy make still menus.

If you use real picture formats like tif, jpg, ... Scenarist will encode them into m2v-stills before muxing. If you want to edit the picture (like removing unused buttons) you can use VirtualDubMod to make a snapshot of the frame to bitmap.
