Screen Capturing Note

The easiest software to grab screenshots from DVD I have found so far is VLC available at www.videolan.org
It is Mac, PC and Linux compatitable.
It is also an easy way to watch DVDs from any region without unlocking your DVD-Rom drive.
Under the Video Menu there is an option to take a screen shot.
