The source is just a basic widescreen DVD, not HD-DVD or Blu-Ray.

All I did was view the movie in Windows Media Player, pause it where I wanted it, did a simple screen cap (Ctrl-Print Screen), then pasted the image into Windows Paint, and saved it as a JPG. Pretty unsophisticated really, but it seemed to have worked fairly well.

(By the way Elvis was driving the white 427 comp Cobra in the scene you describe, where he gets squeezed off the road and into the river at a narrow bridge by Shelley Fabares at the wheel of a red Ferrari convertible.)
