Take a screenshot on OSX while DVD is playing

When watching a DVD, the finder in OSX turns off the ability to take a screen shot. You can get around this by opening Terminal, and typing in the following:

screencapture -i ~/Desktop/screenshot.png

Terminal is located here:

Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal

This will put screenshot.png on your desktop.

omg, I'm downright giddy with excitement! I usually take like 4 days to actually finish a movie, and it sucks having to eject the DVD to take a SS. winwinwinwinwinwin
