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.

Power DVD? Not sure if it's actually free......but hey. PSP isn't either XD

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.

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. ^_^
