DVD Capture is a helper application for the Apple DVD Player. DVD Capture enables the user to take screen captures of the DVD Player Viewer in window and full screen mode.

The captures can be saved to a file or placed on the clipboard. An AppleScript is provided for the DVD Player script menu that launches DVD Capture. Select "File" or "Clipboard" to assign a location for the capture.

Whether you want to capture just a screen shot or a sequence of shots DVD Capture is the right application for you.

Here are some key features of "DVD Capture":

· The usage is very straightforward. Control the DVD Player with the buttons. You can manipulate the cursor, play, pause, mute, stop, rewind, fast forward, step and go to menus. It is best to pause the DVD Player before taking a capture because the amount of time necessary to create and prepare the capture will lead to missing the frame to be captured. Use the step button to take multiple captures of a sequence.
· It has been shown that it is best to set the Preference in DVD Player for "Hide Controller If Inactive" to less than 4 seconds. Adjusting the Capture Speed slider in DVD Capture can accommodate more time until the controller disappears.
· DVD Capture takes a full screen shot of the current frame and places it on the clipboard or into a PDF file. The option is then available to convert the capture to a JPG and remove the PDF.
· Checking "No Sounds" will mute the camera clicking sound of the capture.
