Screen Shots while watching DVD?
Does anyone know how to take a screenshot while watching a DVD on an ibook? I'm buying the 12" combo model for my son next week and I want to make sure that he can get clear screen captures for a project that he is working on. (We do this now on a PC with WinDVD). Thanks in advance for your help.

SnapZ may have problems with ATI chips like the Radeon in the iBook. Apple's built-in screen cap (command-shift-3) is disabled and won't work.
The solution seems to be Snatcher. Check Versiontracker for it.
<strong>SnapZ may have problems with ATI chips like the Radeon in the iBook.</strong><hr></blockquote>No, on 10.2 Snapz works fine with ATI chips and will capture the DVD region. It was under 10.1 that the DVD region was filled with solid green on ATI cards.
usage: screencapture [-icmwsWx] [file] [cursor]
-i capture screen interactively, by selection or window
control key - causes screen shot to go to clipboard
space key - toggle between mouse selection and
window selection modes
escape key - cancels interactive screen shot
-c force screen capture to go to the clipboard
-m only capture the main monitor, undefined if -i is set
-w only allow window selection mode
-s only allow mouse selection mode
-W start interaction in window selection mode
-x do not play sounds
file where to save the screen capture
