[G4] How to Grab a Frame from a DVD

[Anthony Kluck]

So far as I can tell, SnapNDrag doesn't override the block in Apple's 
DVD player. I just downloaded it, installed it, and tried taking screen 
captures from a film I'm writing an essay on. Each time the DVD player 
goes black-screen when I attempt to do screen caps... How did you 
manage to do it? Anyone else have a workaround? I'm not a pirate 
(arrrrgh!) but I happen to need screen caps from some films for my 
writing projects when professional stills aren't available.
Thanks,
Anthony
