Why can’t I do a screen capture from a DVD on the Mac? The Grab utility insists that screen grabs are unavailable during DVD playback, and tells me I have to close the DVD software. Is this a real software problem (not likely) or just something to make media companies happy?
Freeze frame.

You might have better luck playing through VLC, which can be found at versiontracker.com. I doubt that it’s a software problem and more on the side of making media co’s happy.
