hi ray,
thank you for getting back to me. i check out snapz pro but had a quick look
at the faq page. this seems to answer my question at the same time......
> question: I can't capture images from DVD, nor from 3D games, why not?

thing is, i'm sure i read a copy of macuser ages ago that told you how to
work round it - i cant find it anywhere though...
does anyone have a work round????
cheers,
jake
