I'm gonna move this over anyways just so the tech-heads can take a gander at this question. Wish I could help you out, MJ.

You won't be able to use PrntScrn because DVD player software uses an overlay.

Depending on your DVD player software, some can do image captures. I'm using PowerDVD, and it has this functionality built in.

Of course, to make the image look decent, you'll probably have to use Photoshop to clean it up, but I just did it, and it came out looking okay.
