Defeat Apple's Anti-DVD-Screenshot DRM

to osx dvd screenshot by bitshaker on Dec 02, 2005
Apple disables the OS X screenshot capability while a DVD is playing, but there is a workaround.

Using terminal, type in this command.
screencapture -i ~/Desktop/filename.jpg


Your mouse should turn into crosshairs. Now hit the space bar. Your mouse should now be a camera. Click the window the DVD is playing in. A file called "filename.jpg" will appear on your desktop.

Found here with many more options:
