As I understand it, you cant grab a DVD screen because the signal is sent direct from the drive to the graphics card, bypasing the CPU, so the cpu never 'sees' what is showing. The CPU uses a Matte colour (usually dark green) to tell the GPU where to put the DVD on the screen.
However, if you rip the DVD to another format, AVI for example, that is stored on the hard disk, you should be able to grab that. This is assuming the DVD isn't an encoded commercial one. To RIP one of those, you will need to crack the encryption first and then RIP it, both of which are probably illegal. Speaking of which, you do have written permission from the copyright holder for all this, don't you?
