So I've finally gone over to the dark side and bought my first Apple product ever (a Macbook Air). As I'm still a complete newbie when it comes to Macs, I'm hoping someone can help me out with a few questions that I'm not easily finding answers to on the interwebs:

Is there any way to screen capture on Mplayer X without taking the subtitles, as you can do in MPC? MPC isn't available for the Mac platform so isn't an option. MPlayer seems to be the best option for Macs and handles hi10p without a problem, but the capture thing is an issue.

Failing that, does anyone know of a good screen capture utility (preferably a free app) that could accomplish the same thing? One-key functionality would be huge - either using the keyboard or a trackpad gesture.

Any bloggers out there? I really like Windows Live Writer, but none of the options for Mac seem to come close to it in terms of functionality. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for your help.
