For best results if you use Printscreen key, you have to set zoom to 100% in the video player.

By the way, you can also try VideoLan (VLC), it can read lots of things and if I remember well the latest version has a picture saving function somewhere.

Hmmm, the picture is quite small and fuzzy. I didn't wan't to enlarge it anymore otherwise it's impossible to recognize anything at all.

btw.looks like it's Austin taxi on the left

Now I managed to do something. Let's see how it works...

I mean that you can open first a dummy video (any "avi" file that you have) in WMP, then while that window is paused and still visible open the good video in Wimamp or something else. That will allow you to use the Printscreen key if it was not working before (i.e. if you had a black area instead of the video).

Unfortunately they don't open in Windows Media Player.

Still investigating this thing...

If they open in Winamp or Windows Media Player, another solution is to open a dummy video first, keep this one paused (i.e. not stoppped and keep the window on the screen, not reduced), then you will be able to use Printscreen key to grab picture from the second video (the good one), that you open in a second window of Winamp / Windows Media Player. I do not think that Winamp lets you open two times itself, so you may have use Windows Media Player for the first dummy video.

Thanks for the tips !

By video files I mean free downloadable movies. I know a couple of websites which offer free classic movies. It just gave me an idea

For Quicktime I think that you can do a screencapture (using Printscreen key).
For Realplayer, maybe that with Media Player Classic (MPC) it will work, I am not sure that it can save pictures from such files (it works fine for AVI & DVD).
What do you mean by "winamp video files" ?

Is there any way to save pictures from RealPlayer, QuickTime or WinAmp video files ? I mean when you stop the picture it would be nice to be able to save it somehow. And it would be so much faster than playing with a camera.
