How do I capture a MPEG4 picture?

[madeupfacts]

I tried print screen and pasting it on paint, but it doesn't seem to work. I just want to screen capture one shot of a divx video file.

thanks if anyone knows the answer

vlcplayer will let you get a screen capture of a video.

open whatever player and open video file. pause player.
open another instance of video player and play file. take screenshot from this instance.
