New Member: Screencap question

[misplcdcanadian.livejournal.com]

Does anyone know how to screencap from a Mac? I looked at the tutorials, but they're all for Win. If anyone can help, thanks!

Type 'shift-command-3' to capture the whole screen.
Type 'shift-command-4' to capture with a marquis-drag rectangle.
With the caps lock key down, type 'shift-command-4' to capture a
selected window.

The screen captures will be stored as "Picture 1", "Picture 2", ...,
in the root folder of the startup disk.

You may have to download a program. Apple won't let your use regular captures while DVD player is up (at least in OSX). So, just search google for like "mac screen capture program" or something, and it should work.

I use Screentool, downloadable from download.com, I believe. It's a bit annoying cause you've got to export all your pictures one by one, but it works, and it's free.

Though, tell me if you find a better one.

I use a really great program that I downloaded from Wormintheapple.com It's called DVD Capture (or something like that). Just type in 'mac os x dvd capture' into google and I'm sure you'll find it. The program works at least as well as WinDVD4 which I have on the PC. In fact, it's better because it lets you go forward screenshot by screenshot for extra precise capping.
