Some people may find it funny that I, a person who works in the computer industry, would need to ask a question like this. To those people, I simply brush aside their mocking and ask the question again to see if they know the answer.

So, to which, the question: I have a DVD and I would like to take a few screen captures of that DVD. When trying to basic, obvious things like, uh, PrtSc, I get this wonderful screen capture of everything *but* what I want, which is conviently blacked out like it was copy portected, probably because it is. But I shall not want this to deter me, and thus I ask you, the people of whom may have experience on matters like this, if they have information on this.
