It won't let me do screen grabs for a DVD and tells me that 'screengrabs are disabled when the DVD player is in use'. Can this be disabled?

Don't listen to the above jokers. They have no idea what they're talking about. It doesn't have anything to do with the DVD being encrypted, and Mac OS X does support screen captures out of the box (not screen recording, however) through the Grab application, the screencapture command-line utility, and the screen capture hot keys.
Try using VLC instead of Apple's DVD Player application for watching the DVD. VLC doesn't prevent screen caps. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Screen capture doesn't work on MAC or Windows, you need a video screen capture tool.
I don't know of any myself, but you may find something on Apple's Download site.

No because it's not a Mac feature. It's the DRM encoding on the DVD.
