• 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.

Grabbing photo clips from personal video

A friend recorded video of me at a horse show this past weekend. There are some short clips that I'd like to grab as pictures, but I can't seem to do that either in iPhoto or in iMovie.

I know I've done this in the past with windows software, but I can't figure out how to work it on my new Mac! Am I being daft, or what?? :D

well you could pause the video where you want to take the picture and press and hold command + shift + 4 then crop out the video and a picture should show up on your desktop.
