Is it possible to take a screen grab from a DVD?
Via Shift/Control/4 I get the message: "Screen grabs are unavailable during DVD playback. Please quit DVD Player first."

it is possible, but not with apple's DVD player. use VLC if you want to take screenshots of your movies.

What does "In Terminal" mean?
How To: Take a screenshot of a video in OS X
Stop at the frame you want to take the screenshot.
In Terminal type “screencapture -i ~/Desktop/filename.png” and hit enter.
You should see the cursor turn into crosshairs (+). Now hit the space bar. Your cursor should now looks like a camera.
Click on the frame which will create a file called filename.png on your desktop.

Terminal is a "command line" application in your utilities folder. "Command line" meaning you need to type very specific instructions that the computer will follow (think: DOS). It is both very powerful and very dangerous, depending on your knowledge of it.
I think that, because you don't seem familiar with terminal, you should steer clear of it for now and use the Capture widget.
And check out

for useful tutorials on the Terminal. Like I said, it is very powerful, and may help you in the future.

I don't like the sound of it. Me messing around in there would probably be like amateur brain surgery.Thanks for the tip. I'll try the Capture Widget.
