How does one take a screenshot of a DVD movie? I tried my handy 'open apple-shift-3' bit, that didn't work. I then tried using 'Grab,' that didn't work either. Any ideas?
You can't take screen shots of the apple DVD player. Its a copywright issue, apple blocks the screen shot functions when the player is open. You can download another DVD player, VLC, at http://www.videolan.org/. This progam allows you to take screen shots, although it doesn't run that well on older systems.
run a search at versiontracker. There is an app called DVD capture (how fitting). It works quite well.
Yes, because of copyright issues you cannot legally take a screenshot that will be used commercially (e.g. in an ad, magazine cover, etc.), without consent from the producers and copyright holders.
It comes bundled with the "Pro" line of computers. It did not come on my iBook, but when my boss bought a Ti 1GHz (with 1GB ram, 60GB HD ) it came preloaded.
