Need an HD DVD / Blu-ray Screenshot program/method

Yeah. So, I need an HD DVD and Blu-ray screenshot program. I've tried SnagIt but it doesn't work. I prefer NOT to lower hardware acceleration as it screws up my nVidia panel and PC in general.

Any ideas? I'm coming up with zero.

This is probably not the right answer but, can you just hit the print screen button?

Might want to try running another video program playing a video first, hit pause, then playback the HD DVD or Blu disc in another program and then do the print screen. I know I used to do that when I didn't have a program to take screen shots with, unsure if it'll work with HD media.

Tried that, but got an error. Good idea, though.

I'm not sure there's a "legitimate" way of doing it, if you know what I mean. It was demonstrated (and I wish I was making this up) that a movie could be copied by taking a screenshot of each frame. Seriously. I can't remember where I read this, but I know I did.

That's pretty much what happened -- PowerDVD supported screenshots until some weisenheimers pointed out that you could capture every single frame and reconstruct the video that way. This obviously sucks as a ripping method, but it resulted in a lot of hysterical "BLU-RAY COPY PROTECTION BROKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!" stories, so Cyberlink got cold feet and yanked the feature from the next version. At this point I don't think there's any way of doing it that doesn't involve actually breaking the copy protection.
