Tiger only hintI've found that using the Capture widget (Developer's page), in addition to its advertised functions, allows you to capture screenshots from a DVD.

Here's how:

  1. Pause DVD the desired frame.
  2. Invoke Dashboard.
  3. Make sure you have the Hide Dashboard and Full Screen settings on in the Capture widget.
  4. Capture to your heart's content.
Shots are saved to the default location with the name 'Screenshot.' All types of file supported by the widget work. I know there are other ways to do this, but this is free and easy.
