It should be easier with Windows. You may attach what is called a
"video stabilizer" (small, box-like in shape, effectively overcoming
all copyright protection) between your DVD player and a dv camera,
then you import (record) the scenes you're interested in onto your
camcorder (not all
cameras can do this - they need to have an analogue "in" port,
usually the slightly more expensive ones). Then you attach the dv
camera to your computer which - if it has an analogue to Apple's
iMovie program - can then import the selected scenes, and edit them
etc. in your computer, before burning them on DVD, for instance. The
loss of quality compared to the original DVD is very minor, hardly at
all.
If this procedure sounds like a pain in the a**, there is "illegal"
software on the net which you can download and which should enable
you to circumvent copyright protection. But you've already solved the
problem os screen shots, and my own experience is indirect: through a
filmmaker friend of mine, who virtually did all the technical work
for me.
Best,
