Does anyone know of a way to do this, and thus circumventing the built in protection?

I ask this humbly and respectfully offer many thanks in advance for any guidance to a possible already-existing thread or help posted here.

Most dvd software has the ability to take screen caps. I know that power DVD does.

Thank you!

My DVD software is no longer working . . . WinDVD . . . which is odd because it used to. I plan to download the latest upgrade of this software to see if it works. I'll see if that has this capability. I'll also look for the software you mentioned.

My most sincere and humblest gratitude.

any other suggestions?
