Capturing iTunes Movies Screenshots
Hi all,
This is my first post on this forum.
Before submitting my question, I searched this community and other web venue of course. It was to no avail. None of the products (Skitch, SnagIt, Snap Pro X, etc.) could do it.
There is a image in a scene from the 2009 Star Trek I purchased in Full HD from the iTunes store (not cheap either!). I wanted to capture this rather beautiful moment between Spock and his mother, and use it as a background on my MacBook Pro. This is what I got:
Does anyone have a workaround or a product that is certain to do the job?
On a side note, I remember a time when it was a snap (pardon the pun) to capture any image, including from HD movies on computers. But now I feel that with all that protect our content at all cost from Companies out there, we are moving backwards. I know pirating is an issue, but that's not the problem of those of us who do not engage in this sort of activity.
We should be allowed to do whatever we want with OUR purchased content in our own living rooms, especially at the premium we pay!
Moving backwards like this is akin of giving a 2 years old a chemistry set and a microscope as toys to play with and when he grows up and ready to go to school, replace those great toys with a rattle and a pacifier!
Excuse the rant but at the price those movies cost, we should be allowed to play too 🙂. Feel free to comment on this if you wish.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions and/or solutions
Best Regards
