Hitting 'print screen' alone will give you the whole viewable desktop.

Hitting 'ALT-Print Screen' will give you a shot of the currently active window... handy if you don't want the whole desktop with taskbar and all.

Yes how would you take a screen shot of DVD. I know it can be done. do you need DeCSS?

I allways use HyperSnap-DX for all my captures and it captures from almost anything: http://www.hyperionics.com/hsdx/
