Screenshot of a Movie

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

If you are using WMP, you can pause and use Print Screen and paste into
Paint, Photodraw, PhotoShop, etc. If you have an application like Power DVD,
there should be a screen capture button on the interface somewhere, clicking
on it while the movie is playing will save the screen shot to a folder.

I thought of that solution also. SnagIt! 7 is certainly versatile.

Middleton's procedure is the one I use and it is free. SnagIt has a free trial
period but costs $40 afterwards. Using Pause and PrintScreen works fine.
