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

Comments

I've never quite understood this. There are so many simpler and more effective ways of copying DVDs than using screen capture software (let alone taking a single screenshot) that it doesn't seem worth the effort to deliberately block.

I guess it's more about "educating" the public that The Content is a holy cow which can only be watched and admired, solely by paying customers, of course.

What if you just want a single frame of the DVD the same way you might want a screengrab of anything else on your desktop?
