How do you capture a screen from video?

Well?

nice name.
my guess is that you tried and tried, but all you got was a black screen.
if so, try using VirtualDub to frame up.

Get a better player, like Media Player Classic. It has a built-in screenshot mode.

Disable hardware acelleration in WMP and you'll be able to get a screen shot.

There's another neat trick, if you play 2 videos at once in 2 separate windows, the 2nd one is usually not rendered by the video card.
