hello

don' know if Grab is OS or App so put it here

in a flash of mistaken brillance, I decided to take a screenshot of various DVD's of mine, some made my me from my own VCR tapes

then Id fiddle with them and makemyself a database of stuff I have.

but Grab as many of you know and I now discovered does not work with DVDplayer open. Apple is being cautious re copyrighted material I guess. thats fine.

Soooo, is there another app freeware/shareware/$$ware that can do this? a way aroung Apples disbleing Grab for DVD.

this is for my own private use etc

thanks rotut

Hey tetenal:

vlc does work, partially

I have v 0.7.1a and it worked in "selection" the drag what you want.
it did not work in "window" that selection was black.

Im downloading VLC v 0.8.1 now and if you don't already know, Ill report back if thats different.

thanks mucho

try a normal screenshot? (command-shift-4)

if that doesn't work, going to the Terminal and typing "screencapture Desktop/pic.jpg" always has for me.

what graphics card do you have?

the VLC player works as mentioned above, Ive downloaded the others but not had the time to look into them.

Im still trying (not thread realated, sorry) to get a good idea if I have to buy a HDTV card this year re hardwire download prevention in '06.

shift com 4 does not work, and Ill look into terminal tomorrow and report back. terminal makes me a little nervous but why not learn?

good to hear from the uncle!

I got more info on other utilities from DVDhelp mac section. should I summarize tomorrow here?
