"A technical issue?" Apple can not write software to screen-grab DVDs because
of a "technical issue?"
Hmmm. OS X (and its accompanying resources) came along none too soon.
There's some OSS code out there to show 'em how it's done.
No, wait, there's third-party software out there that will take a DVD snapshot
on a Mac...how can these guys, these fly-by-nighters, surmount this
"technical issue" when Apple's best and brightest cannot?
