• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I need to photo capture some images from some DVDs. The DVD Player apparently does not allow that. But two of my co-workers had absolutely no problems doing it and they both have macs (their's are better though. Could that have anything to do with it?). I really need to get these images. Is there a seperate program I can download to watch the DVDs and get the images? Please help, I really need these images as soon as possible.

Apple changed DVD player somewhere along the line (not sure where, prob. 10.6) to allow screenshots, but I've always found the free VLC does the job more easily anyway, since its snapshot engine is built-in. It's a handy tool to have around for other reasons as well.
