What to use to capture an image from a video?
 

What's out there that's free? Need something to do this every once in a great while.

This is old and free - Image Grabber II .NET, i have not used it, saw the link offered in another thread.

I dont have a print screen button.

Buy a real computer, hit your Print Screen key.

MWSnap is very handy, it's nothing special, but free and convenient

Try Jing.

its free, very easy to use and images can be edited easily.

...but no print screen button? wtf?

VLC Media Player:

1. Open your video on VLC media player.
2. Pause your video to the point for which you need to capture image.
3. On Video menu click Snapshot (Menu bar –> Video –> Snapshot)
4. Your image is saved
5. You can access your image from default store location.
6. To change default storage location go to Menu –> Tools –> Preference
7. Under Preference –> Video –> Video Snapshot section. Change your location.

URL for download if you don't already have the program www.videolan.org/vlc/

frame shots is best as it does batch videos, its not free though

Adding to this media player classic.

1. Open video.
2. Pause video
3. File -> Save Image
4. ???
5. Profit!

bsplayer and press the P button ;)
