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?

Media Player Classic is love. Aside from having an actual good built-in screen capture function, it also lets you watch things speeded up or slowed down, which ALSO helps with screencapping -- speed up to find the scene you wanted to cap, slow down to make it easier to find the exact moment -- and even a frame-by-frame advance, which is even better.
