Talk:screencapture
From Mac Guides
The example on the screencapture page shows the screenshot creating a JPEG. However, if the format is not changed via the command line (-t), it will actually be a PNG file (on Tiger) and not a JPEG, even though it has a JPEG suffix and icon. Would be good to show how to change the format to JPEG.
[edit]
DVD Screenshots
I think the technique shown on the site the link "Taking screenshots of the DVD player" links to is suboptimal. You have to manually remove the window boder in an image editing application.
I normally run the following commands in one line:
sleep 5; screencapture ~/Desktop/DVDScreenshot.png
then switch to "DVD Player", make it fullscreen, hide the virtual remote and wait until I hear the click.
