Demuxing/Extracting Picture From a Single-Picture Menu

[Venge]

To-the-point question:
All I want is the menu picture from VTS_01_0.VOB, but since it is only one still-picture and the only thing in the VOB I can't seem to grab it. What tool do I need?

The, potentially useful, what and why:
I've authored a three-disc set in Maestro (2915a) with a single static-picture menu on each disc, but I forgot to add the music to the first disc's menu. Through the miracle of acting-fast-while-thinking-slow, I deleted the interim file used for the menu picture. The "easy" solution to the problem is to go all the way back to the original source files and re-create the menu, but it was a fairly intricate process and repeating it would produce somthing that is not quite identical to the other two discs' menus.

Hi-

If you know how to create a .d2v project file and then to create an .avs, you can use AviSynth's ImageWriter (http://www.avisynth.org/index.php?page=Image) filter to grab your pic. From that page:

Examples:
# Writes frame 100 to "D:\000000.BMP":
ImageWriter("c:\", 100, 100, "BMP")

Thanks manono, but I don't think that would work. The major problem was that the D2V file produced caused errors in every program I tried to open it with. However, I found that DVD2AVIdg, bundled with the latest version of GKnot, produces files that can be read by the programs I normally use.

@Venge
Open your VOB with VirtualDub-MPEG2 1.5.7 (http://fcchandler.home.comcast.net/) and export the Menu as BMP.
