Comment on Mac OS Screenshot does not Allow DVD Player to Appear in Captured Region

Comments

Rather more annoying, the same issue occurs if Screen Sharing is in use when DVD Player.app starts.

Needless to say, this is a total pain when controlling a media machine remotely. VLC's DVD playback is a little ropey in my experience, but at least it works.

It's the pointlessness of this feature that irritates me. If I wanted to copy the contents of a DVD, I'd insert it and use one of the squillions of programs that are freely available to do so. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't take frame-by-frame screenshots.

Quicktime allows to record a video of your screen. I bet QT leverages the same framework as the screen capture thing.
