I'm trying to take a picture from a video like this.

But when I do that, the picture i get is 720x576 rather than the 1024x576 that it would need to be so that it would be at the proper aspect ratio.

Right now, I'm using mpc hc's save image function.

Is there a better way to take a picture of it?

If you use ffdshow to decode the video, and use it's resize filter to resize the image to 1024x576, and as long as you have "process pixel ratio internally" checked, then I'm pretty sure ffdshow will feed MPC-HC square pixels and it'll then be able to save images with the correct aspect ratio.

Failing all that, I just save the image and then resize it. Irfanview (http://www.irfanview.com/) has a resize function which can resize an image to an exact number of pixels, so you can resave the 720x576 screenshot at 1024x576 and the end result will basically be the same.

VLC media player with Take Snapshot will do it.

Thx for the responses guys.

I ended up just resizing it in paint.
