When you reach a specific point where you want to take a picture pause the program and hit the "printscreen" button on your computer. Then load up "paint.exe" (windows paint program) and select "paste", this will paste a screenshot of your desktop.

Pretty easy way to get a picture off a movie/dvd

Hope this helps,

Yes you can, find the part you what to freeze and click pause now put your mouse in the center of the screen and wait until the controls fade away then click the button "Print Scr" on your keyboard now whatever that was on the screen was saved to memory temporally.
open paint (or photoshop) and click edit then paste, the image will appear in paint now click save as and now you can open it or send it as you like


this is kind of long but it is the only way to save a freeze frame (that i know of)

pause it on the scene you want hold SHIFT and press PRINT SCREEN/SYSRQ (found at top left of SCROLL LOCK), then paste image in some type of editor like paint or whatever the new computers have, then doctor up the photo

You could make a screenshot. I use Gadwin Print Screen. It's free, but I'm not sure if it's Vista-compatible. Just search "screen shot" on www.download.com and see i there are any that will work with Vista.
