How do I do screen captures in DVD Player? I tried it and it said I can't use screen grabber? Is there some other free program I can use to do this??? I don't have a superdrive.
I need help ASAP!!

You don't need a superdrive to do this. DVD player won't allow you to make a screen grab of a DVD. However, if you use VLC, you can do it. Just play the DVD with VLC, get to the appropriate place in the movie, and do a screen grab.

Viola!

If your using Tiger you can use a widget called Capture to circumvent the DVD screen grab lock out. Works perfectly.
