Sometimes for whatever reason you have, you need to get the screenshot of a scene on a video. Of course you can always use the nifty print screen key method but if you want a better method where you can watch the video frame by frame and select the portion you want to save as image then you can use ImageGrab. It is a free software that allows you to extract images from any kind of videos such avi, wmv, mpeg, SVCD and etc. You can load the video either by drag & drop or through pressing the folder button (or CTRL+F). The video that have been loaded can be played, jump to specific position in the video and perform other things with the common playback controls. To choose the folder where the screenshots will be saved, press CTRL+S.
Pressing the left-click on the video or hitting F12 will grab the image from the current frame and will appear as a thumbnail and the image gets saved on the local system. Pressing Ctrl-C will copy the screenshot to the clipboard instead and you can paste it on any image editing tools you prefer. Take note that ImageGrab requires the Haali Media Splitter or ffdshow to be installed on your system. Don't worry the software will remind you after the installation if both codecs are not installed.
ImageGrab is available as portable software which eliminate installation. You can use it as soon you download it. It works on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7.
