Default Best way to do a screen capture...

So I want to capture a picture from a DVD I'm playing, I suppose it'd be easiest on a computer, so I get a computer DVD player/burner? Anyway, if I do it through photoshop it shows the toolbar, how do I do it to make it look the best?

Forgive me if this has been asked before, I seem to remember SteveUCI asking a similar question, but I can't find the post. How do I do this and make it look perfect?

Thanks guys...

Andrew

If you are running it full screen and then do Print Screen does it not capture just the image?

Then paste it to your image editor

Also ... if your Windows toolbar is in the way set it to 'Hide'.
