Stills from mpegs?

[Pianorak]

Hope this is the right place to post this one.

I have lots of mpegs of flights and want to take some stills from them for a website. I assumed that I could do this in MS Media player but I can't find an option for it. Basically I want to watch the video, pause it, and then click a button and have it save a jpeg. Can anyone please tell me the simplest and easiest way to achieve this either using media player (if there is such an option) or by downloading something. :confused:

I know that there must be thousands of packages that will do this but I want something that I don't have to learn as I won't use it again after this.

Soo many (programs) out there. But if you're looking for just WMP w/o anything extra, I believe CTRL+i takes a screenshot

BSPlayer is another, press P

Than for multiple shots, Image Grabber II is good, you can even make fancy drop shadows! :D :D

If you have a program like Power DVD or Win DVD (for viewing dvd's on your computer) then the facillity is built into them for taking screen shots.

In Power DVD just click onto the camera icon and it will copy the scene to your clipboard

Thanks guys for your help. I posted this on behalf of a mate who I believe has now solved the problem. Even so, shall pass on your messages. Much appreciated.
