Capturing DVD Screens

[doofy10]

I want to take a few pictures of a DVD I have but when you try to use Grab while the DVD Player is in use, it tells you to quit the DVD player before making a screen (or selection) grab. Is there any way to do this or is there any other software available for taking screens of a DVD?? Thanks in advance.

no there is no way to do this because all of the DVD's are copyright protected

the other way is to find a different DVD Viewer

Actually, if you have a GeForce card and you download Snapz Pro X (www.ambrosiasw.com), you CAN take screenshots (and even movies) of DVDs running.

doofy10, I think there is a way..

Boot in to OS 9 to play your dvd that way you can capture an screen image while the dvd player is running...

I'm too looking for a way to capture images from a dvd in mac os x, anyone out there with an answer?

Try playing the DVD using video lan client (I think that is what it is called). It doesn't play as well as apple's DVD player, but screen capture works, at least on my machine. I believe there was something about this posted over at www.macosxhints.com.
