OS X normally disables screen-capture while the DVD player is running (even if it isn't visible!). I have some home movies on DVD that I'd love to get stills from, but I can't -- the DVD licensing board has forced Apple to break my hardware in such a way as to prevent me from doing something completely lawful, to make sure that I never, ever grab a frame out of _Police Academy n - 1_. Nice to see that independent software authors are willing to un-break my gear for me.
