bmp is fine for capturing images. The file will be rather large, but you can then convert them to a better format via one of the paint programs or viewers

The reason most programs use BMP is because it's free or cost less $$ then gif or jpg licensing. They can give you a SS utility without having to charge you more.

I beleive you need to turn video acceleration off to capture stills via your software. All my DVD rips I use to post here for sigs, where BMP images I converted to jpgs
