how to make a video or screenshot a video of an idvd or dvd menu?
Recently my father passed and using iDVD I created a short dvd that was played at the viewing. I've since received multiple requests from people wanting a copy. The DVD is basically a short slideshow and due to the volume of people requesting a copy, I've made it into a movie that I can email to those interested.
Here's my problem, or what I'm not finding a solution for:
I'm hoping there's a way to create a VIDEO of the dvd Menu, which I made in iDVD. Of course, this would not be interactive, but used as the first image or movie in the video I'm creating in iMovie as an introduction to what the video is. So far, I've not found a way of doing it through exporting. When trying to play the dvd and take a video screencapture, the resulting video shows only a checkerboard pattern.
Unsuccessful attempts I've made are using QuickTime & Snapz Pro X to capture, as well as playing the dvd using Apple's DVD player and trying VideoLan as some older posts suggested. Also as suggested, I tried ripping the dvd as a video using HandBrake, but this only results in the content being copied, not including the menu, which is what I'm looking for.
Any ideas of help would be appreciated.
Thanks
