Yes,, if you want to make single picture from video just use snipping tool or just click Print Screen and paste it to some picture editora like for example Paint :)

Thanks guys, that will do it..
Yep. You can pause the video + take a screen capture, if frame rate + bit density is high enough + motion stopped.

Otherwise, split out your frames with ffmpeg + merge them for a composite image.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3917601/ffmpeg-split-avi-into-frames-with-known-frame-rate covers how to do the split, including setting frame correctly.

If you set frame rate at anything different than native frame rate, then you'll end up with missing frames + you won't be able to get a clear image.
