I'm sorry if this is already covered in another thread - I checked, and checked and didn't see anything ... withing EMC9, is there an application that allows you to extract still pictures?  I converted a bunch of family photos to DVD in order to be able to show the album on TV when we have visitors.  I inadvertenly deleted the original folder on my hard drive that contained all the original jpegs.  Is there a way to extract the jpegs from the DVD? :)

TIA for you help!

Sorry, I don't know of any way you can do it retroactively.  You would have to capture the DVD back to your computer and then use Media Manager to extract each image.  As you could guess, the quality will not be any where as clear as the original. If it is a long slide show, it may take you awhile.

Next time (I hate that phrase as much as yes- but) when you go to burn slide shows to a DVD and you use the project file you can select archive images in the file>project settings.  It does not work if you have converted your slide shows to a mpg2 or other file before adding it to MyDVD.
Regardless of what I say about computer maintenance, there is no need to defrag a solid state hard drive.
