I need your help. I'm going crazy

Post by Super Aurora »

I was watching Vowellet: An Essay by Sarah Vowell from The Incredibles dvd. There a part in the video where it shows cahararcter designs of Violet's classmates. I like the look and appeal of them and want to screencapture it.

Only fucking problem is My mac(or any Mac per se) won't allow to screen capture while dvd playing. I tried downloading and trying out programs like Capture Me, Snag and drag, etc. All don't work for me.

You have any ideas or ways I can do this?

Do you have VLC Media Player? It allows you to take captures and you can run it on Macs and use it to play DVDs I think.

Yeah, I know how you feel. I've been trying to screencap the 25th Anny Edition of the Black Cauldron to no avail.

I've got Windows, so I can't really offer much help in the ways of Mac-N-Cheese... :(

The only thing that really worked for me when it came to screencapping was Media Center. Except, for some unknown reason, it won't work for me anymore. Saying I need a "DVD Decoder".

Why it says that now when I was able to watch DVD's perfectly before is beyond my knowing. :oops:

The guides are no help at all! I've looked at guides for Windows Media Player, followed those instructions, but nothing... :oops:

Unfortunately for copyrighted video content(anything in a game being the exception) best bet is an HD PVR, and those are $150.
