Hi All and Bill You can use VLC to play the movie. Pause the movie at the critical point and use Mac OS X's normal screen capture commands to grab the still frames (DVD Player does not let you do this - unless things have changed in Lion). As others have mentioned you will require VLC, but it is unnecessary to use MacOS X to take a screenshot VLC has this feature built-in you just need to hold down the Command + Option + S buttons when you want to save the relevant frame. -- Regards Kyle - Kyle Kreusch: This E-Mail Was Dictated Using One OF Nuance Communications, Dictate Products - *User Next*, *Apple and Macintosh User Group*: Websitehttp://usernext.org/| Facebook http://www.facebook.com/UserNext | Twitterhttp://twitter.com/UserNext - -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au

The reason I say that is I've seen it say previous models are worth about $150 below new ones,.and people wouldn't pay that for a second hand machine. http://www.mac2sell.net/index.au.php Sometimes eBay can be a rough idea as well.

Re: Dropbox and aliases of files
Hi Ronni Further to the above subject I found a group called epub2go which promised PDF to EPUB conversion. I joined up and requested they convert Apple's iPad User Guide to EPUB but they could not do it, possible reasons given being (a) Digital Rights Management; (b) non-English fonts and (c) being too complex. Have I chosen a poor operator or is the User Guide rather too complex for conversion. Your advice would be appreciated.

Search facility - Mail on Lion - buggy?
I'm finding the search facility for the Lion version of Mail very unreliable, as in not returning matching messages when it should be. I do have a fairly large accumulation of messages these days, but wasn't a problem with Snow Leopard. I'm wondering if others have found this, or is it a function of me running 10.7 on a MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (must be 4 to 5 years old by now), which is now considerably more sluggish after moving from Snow Leopard to Lion.

Re: Dropbox and aliases of files
Hi Ian, Why do you need to convert the User Guides to ePub format? Dropbox can read PDFs. Didn’t you download the User Guides as per my previous email instructions? I have the 'iPad User Guide’ heaps of User Guides Tutorials in PDF format on my iPad in ‘iBooks’, also in ‘Evernote’. /Quote: I download any User Guides to Open in iBooks (PDF) on my iPad. Go here to download the SuperDuper User Guide. http://homepage.mac.com/dnanian/SuperDuper/SuperDuper.pdf /End Quote: Then when I sync to my computer they all show in iTunes Library Books.
