How can I take a screenshot of a DVD on a Mac?

Every time I try to take a screenshot of a DVD that is open in the DVD Player application, it comes up as a gray and white checkered box where the picture would be. I've tried simply using Shift+command+4 as well as typing the DVD grab code (screencapture -i ~/Desktop/DVDGrab.png) into Terminal, but nothing seems to change this. I cannot get the DVD to open in VLC no matter what I try, and I think that's because the DVD was created on a computer from a video taken on a video camera, and is not a commercially produced DVD. Is there any way to open this DVD in VLC or take a screenshot that actually works using the DVD application? Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated!

Has Apple released whether the DVD Player application will be available on the iPad?

I know it obviously won't be able to play DVD's, but there might be a way to connect a DVD player to it. This would be an alternative to filling up the small hard drive with iTunes library.

DVD support will never come to iPad and very soon it will disappear from many netbooks to make it lighter.

If you want more memory , there are plenty of apps available that streams video,audio from home computer over Wi-Fi or 3G. You don't have to be on the same network.

Besides, you can also get some memory on Box and Drop Box. Both have FREE apps for iphone/iPad.

DVD is in last phase of its life anyway.

NetBooks can never match the quality of iPad. Accelerometer based gaming interface with HD graphics makes it incredible. iWork is immaculate on it and it costs only $30. On netbooks MS Office cost somewhere near $115.

Thousand of wonderful apps make iPad a stupendous gadget. iPad has apps like YouTube,DailyMotion,Metacafe,TV.net and many thousand more. You can download files,Audio,Video,Books,Comics,.rar file,exe software right from iPad.
There are many apps available to download.
iPad is much more useful and than any netbook

You can watch full length movies,full episodes of TV shows, thousands of Animation movies and all kinds of video ONLINE for FREE.
You dont need FLASH support to play video content. R.I.P FLASH
All the websites are recoding video content in HTML 5.And iPad supports HTML 5
