Capture a DVD screen with the Apple DVD Player
Authored by: Stecchino on Jun 23, '05 09:23:43AM

The Capture widget works very nicely for this purpose. After I read this hint, I tried to simply perform a screen capture the normal way (and quickest) while playing a DVD (SHIFT-COMMAND-3), but a dialog box pops up and says that the screen capture feature is not available while DVD Player is running. Yet, somehow, the Capture widget performs this task regardless.

Capture a DVD screen with the Apple DVD Player

That's because Apple programmed Grand and your keyboard shortcuts for taking screenshots to not allow use while DVD Player is running. Obviously, the developers of the Capture widget didn't pay any attention to this.
