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?

I have a Mac so I use VLC to play downloads. It has a good built in screen capture and I can slow down the replay like you wouldn't believe. When I was on a PC I used Intervideo WinDVD but that one isn't free. Neither method requires me to paste anything into another program unless I want ot manipulate the images.

Don't know if any of it will help but, hey. ^_^

We've got WinDVD on my mom's laptop, so if all else fails I can toss the files onto my flashdrive and take them over there.

This is for Braska-screencaps, actually - I've now got AVIs of all the Jecht Spheres in the game XD; Mostly for my own icons, but as basically none exist on the internet, I figured I'd get lots and put them all up
