Extract images from 2d game launcher

There is a 2D game based on Direct3D. This game has a lot of graphics and animations. What is the best way to extract a sequence of animations from the current game (for example using a memory dump)? Are there special tools for such purposes?

Depending on what you call the "best"

FRAPS - http://www.fraps.com/

Allows you to take screenshots that you can edit from frames.



Alternatively, you can use graphical debugging tools such as PIX ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb173085(VS.85).aspx ) to grab graphical commands and pull textures (games often disable PIX support at release though).

Or try pulling images directly from files (they need to be uploaded somewhere, and file formats are usually pretty easy to tweak).

NB: I am assuming that 2D game does not mean that it really does mean 3D assets, but 2D game.

I don't know if it can work full screen, but with a desktop recording tool like CamStudio you can record the animation in uncompressed avi format.
With the optional video processing tool, you can do whatever you want with the captured frames.
