That's not the case in Vista. There's some sort of DRM blocking it. On the Vista machine we are testing at work, VLC wasn't even able to play DVD's.

Maybe there is some difference between Vista versions, but my Vista Ultimate plays DVDs right out of the box.

I doubt it. I've got Leopard open right now, and there's not too much to support this... Yes, the Finder QuickLook is that style... but the trend seems to be that *inspector windows* are going to the translucent black look. Everything else seems to be moving towards the unified toolbar / Mail.app look.

Well, you can, just not through Grab or the hotkeys -- the window server isn't preventing actually preventing any app from grabbing the window's backing store -- it's just Grab and the hotkeys have been modified to show a warning.This terminal command will capture the entire screen (see the man page for more options) even if DVD player is open and playing:screencapture ~/desktop/foo.pngAlso, most 3rd party screencapture applications should work (either they call screencapture, take the screenshot themselves through CGS hackery, etc -- none of these with the restrictions).

I agree. Apple actually had one in the beta copies of the Mac OS X but dropped it when they released the completed OS. :(Take a look at versiontracker.com or macupdate.com for programs.
