I do not know what are the problems with all these pics, but as you said that DVD player may be a bad choice for captures.
Those sent by Kooshmeister meet indeed files weight limitations (but not size), they are even somewhat small compared to usual average weight, i.e. more compressed. Maybe this is the reason of the pixelated aspect.

By the way, I didn't really think the following were really visible enough for their own pages:
(skipped resizing since not much is visible)
They can always be posted in the comments section though.

Kooshmeister, I really don't think the photo hosting service would have anything to do with it.
Antp, I did crop the above images with Windows Vista Snipping Tool and resize with XnView, but they did not change much. By the way, the "raw" images already met the file size kb limitations, it was just the maximum allowable width dimension that was excessive.
I wonder if the "pixelation" is due to either the source material or if it has something to do with the media player/image capture program Kooshmeister is using?

Here are all of the 1-star background cars I was able to clearly snag/recognize; as Wampa-One requested, they haven't been shrunken down and are "raw" in the sense that they're the same size as when I took them.
EDIT: Dangit, even in their original size they look pixelated (especially the night-time ones). I really don't know what to do, and I'm really very sorry. (The fact I'm using the old DVD of Darkman might have something to do with it, but even then, there shouldn't be this much pixelation, and I honestly never had this problem using Power DVD's capture feature; Sonic CinePlayer is just a really sucky player for screenshots, I guess.)
This is especially weird since the ones for Sheena and Island of Terror were said to be of good visual quality despite being resized; I used Photoshop for those, not XnView, but all I did in XnView with these was rename them. Has it got something to do with the fact I'm using ImageShack instead of Photobucket (like I did for Sheena, Island of Terror and Night of the Big Heat)?
Chevrolet Step Van (?)
Volvo (on the left)
Jeep of some sort.
Jeep Cherokee.
Mercedes SL (I'm positive, and I'm just sorry there isn't a better shot of it other than behind Joxer there.)
And these are the ones I'm not even going to try and act like I can identify....

Here's some pictures for the already-existing Darkman gallery, which has none.
A kind of maroon-ish car. Chrysler, maybe? 1 star, just a background car.
Another maroon-ish car, used in the opening action sequence. 2 stars.
Green four-door car, also used in the opening action sequence. 2 stars.
Lincoln Towncar, one of two used by Durant's gang throughout the movie. 4 stars.
Strack's Lincoln Towncar stretched limo. 2 stars.
Oldsmobile Cutless Supreme, Sam Raimi's favorite car, seen in the chase scene towards the end. 1 star.
Truck Darkman attaches Durant's helicopter to. 3 stars.
Truck that runs over one of Durant's gang members; I think it's the same kind of truck as the one above. 2 stars.
Taxi. 2 stars.
Some kind of station wagon that Pauly, one of Durant's gang, falls onto. 1 star.
Black limo at the cemetary. 1 star.
And that about does it for Darkman, I think.
