Every time I try to open a DVD in Quicktime Player to make screen caps, it always says, "Error opening movie." Then when I try to take screen caps in DVD player, it says "Screen grabs cannot be taken while DVD player is open", or something along those lines. Can someone please help? :sad: :wink: :huh:
 
No but one way you can do that would be to play your movie in VLC, pause the movie, open up the application Grab (located in your Utlities folder), make a screen capture, save the image (by default it will probably be a tiff), open that tiff file using Preview and re-save it as a Gif.

But it sounds like you might be trying to make an animated gif and thats more complex :|
