Help with Screen Captures

Recently, having found nothing but crap on the net , I decided to use some of my DVD's to help make my witty and amusing (ask anyone! ) Sig/Avatar sets, I've gotten up to making screen captures of the frames I want, but now I'm stuck.
The problem is I'm trying to crop the bits of the frame I want, (I mean cutting the black bars at top and bottom, geting the guys face etc), and then resize the image as necessary.
Everytime I try to change the size though, the damn workspace size changes, but the damn image won't! So I'm left with a tiny bit say of the top left of the frame, hardly useful
So can anyone chip in with some "For Dummies" (yeah I admit it ) advice to help me out?
I've been trying in Photoshop, and Photoshop CS.
Thanks,

What I would do if you're using screenshots is simply use the Crop tool to get the part of the pic you want. Then I would go to Image>Image Size and input whatever you want for the size. If you have like a specific layer in the image that you want to resize, go to Edit>Transform>Scale. Did that help any?

I'm using a little Photoshop, but I prefer to work with Paint Shop Pro.
It's really similar to photoshop to resize a picture :
Image > Resize
There is a check box, you must click or not to keep or not the proportion of the image.
There is another check box if you want to resize the actif layer or all.
Then you indicate the size for height and width of the image.
If you want to print the image, you can indicate the size in cm, inch or the resolution.

No, that would not be normal at all. Many things cold be wrong. The most obvious would be the volume (whether it is your speakers or the mute button). Another possible scenario would be that the DVD has "bad sectors" and can not be read correctly by your DVD-Rom. Another thing to look at would be the Settings or Options, make you sure did not accidentally hit a wrong button or check box somewhere.Speaking of screen captures and this might be totally irrelevant, but here it goes anyway.. when using PowerDVD is it normal that there is no sound at all while playing the DVD?
If nothing works, then I would say that you have yourself a faulty DVD.
When you play the DVD on a different DVD player, does the sound work?

In that case, I would double check your program volume settings and options.Works fine on the other program I use and on my standalone
If you can not find anything wrong there, then most likely it is just because your DVD-Rom can not read the DVD correctly. Personally, I have a couple of DVDs that work fine on my PS2, but I can not play them on my computer.
What is the brand of the DVD-R? Sometimes DVD-Roms can not read certain "lesser-quality" brand named DVD-Rs.

EDIT: Nevermind, I downgraded to an earlier version of PowerDVD and now everything works perfect
