Screencapping Programs

I know a lot of people on my f-list make screencaps out of AVIs - any recomendations for good, free programs to do it with? My current method consists of finding the shot in VirtualDub, copying it to the clipboard, and then pasting in PSP and saving, which works when it's only one or two, but I've got a bunch of files to do a lot from, and there _has_ to be a simplier way. Help?

Depends on the program you use. I forgot what it is with BSplayer, but with Windows Media Player, you can use CTRL+I. BSplayer is, I think 'P', but I really don't remember.

I personally like Virtual Dub, but that's just me.

Actually, another method hit me that I've used. Do you have Animation Shop? Using Virtual Dub, just find the frame number to start from and to end. Somewhere in Animation shop, you can open all the frames you want from a clip or whatever. Then you can save the frames you want. It's quicker than the method you mention in your post. But I don't remember too much about this method since I haven't done it in some time.
