Mac Capping?

Hello! Long-time lurker, first time poster.

I own an Apple PowerBook G4, and I'd like to make caps from my DVDs, but when I use the Grab program it says I can't copy the screen or window while DVD Player is open. I've checked the memories for the community and haven't been able to find anything there - does anyone know if I'm able to make caps on my Mac?

Thanks for any help. :D

Yes, there's a very simple program called Snap n' Drag that you can download to make caps for free. I have the 12" PBG4 and use it to make all the caps I need. I don't recall the URL to download it, but just do a google search and you should be able to find it.

There's the URL: http://www.yellowmug.com/snapndrag/
I love that program.

Also, I love your icon! Father Ted is the best!! My family actually named one of our cats Dougall after the character on the show. :)

Thanks for the link! That's just what I was looking for.

I love Father Ted, I've just bought the DVDs - I'll have to spend a few happy hours re-watching them all again some time soon. :D

There is also FreeSnap (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/16252).

I was getting ready to ask the same question, good thing I checked the memories. I too have a Powerbook, well almost it should be here by the 15th! Too long, if you ask me! :D

However is SnapNDrag made to take just a couple screencaps or could I cap an entire movie easily?
