Maybe it has a *short* HD-DVD section on it, and it is on a simple Dual-Layer (Standard) DVD disk. All I can think of...
yep.

This is a bit OT, but how do you take a screenshot of the screen. I know there's a print screen button on windoze computers but I don't see it on my PB keyboard.

Apple included a high definition H.264 clip on a standard DVD. It is not an (15 or 30GB) HD-DVD disk, but rather a (4.7 or 9.3GB) DVD disk with HD content.

Apple must be looking forward to the upcoming HD DVD drive release, The MacBook pro doesnt have an HD screen anyway. If its an HD file like 1080 or 720 it will export to an external as HD
