Hi there.

Can anyone please tell me how to take a screenshot
of a DVD? I tried using command+shift+3, but I just get
a message saying 'Screen grabs are unavailable during
DVD playback. Please quit DVD Player first.' Obviously,
if I quit the DVD, there's no image to capture! :D

Also, once downloaded, does anyone know how I can
save myspace.com videos to my desktop?

In both cases, do I need additional software?

Many thanks in anticipation of some kindly soul helping
me out on this.

With very best wishes for 2007,

JMcE.

Ambrosia Software's SnapzProX (http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/) will let one take a screen grab even from a DVD. Just fork out the $30 after your free 30 day trail ends.

Play the DVD using VLC (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/). This will allow you to take screenshots (and also bypass region coding if memory serves).

Thank you both very much for your replies - much appreciated.

I've downloaded the VLC software and will give it a whirl and get
back to you with the outcome.

I don't suppose either of you know how I can save myspace.com
videos to my desktop?

With thanks again,

JMcE.

A belated thanks to you 'croshtique' and 'joepunk' for
recommending VLC and SnapzProX.

I downloaded VLC and was able to use it successfully.

Thank you both once again, your assistance is very
much appreciated. :cool:

Best,

Download them from here (http://keepvid.com/?url=about%3Ablank) and then use iSquint (http://www.isquint.org/) to convert it.

Dear 'PYR0M310N'

I am very grateful to you for your assistance and
glad that someone has replied to a thread which is
several weeks old - it is very much appreciated.

I've checked this out and it looks like the biz - I'll
certainly do as you advise. You're a Superstar! :cool:

Best wishes and many thanks,
