I have numerous old photos on DVDs. I thought I could view the DVD and then use screen shot technique to get the image and print it. However, the screen shot (control, shift, #4 on the Mac) doesn't work when viewing the DVD. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to get the image back into the computer?
Thanks for any ideas.

Assume you're viewing the photos in Finder - just drag and drop the files to your desktop or wherever else you want to save them.

Thanks for the quick response. I am viewing the images from the DVD with Apple's DVD player version 4. Dragging from the DVD viewing screen doesn't seem to work. Perhaps I didn't understand?
