10.4: Yet another DVD screen grab tip

Here's how to take a screenshot from a DVD in Mac OS X Tiger. I noticed another hint said to quit DVD Player and all that other stuff ... but that's too much work.
Here's a much simpler workaround:
- Go to the part of the movie you'd like to capture. Hit the Stop button in the DVD controller.
- Press the Play button in the controller, and then immediately press down Command-Shift-4.
- Hit the space bar to take a screenshot of the DVD Player window, then click the mouse to take the shot.
You can do all this without ever quitting DVD Player first.
[robg adds: DVD screenshots are a relatively popular topic here (1, 2, 3) ... I tested this one, and it works as described. I still prefer Snapz Pro X for serious DVD screen grab work, but this is a simple workaround.]
