VLC itself can do this. Just play the video in vlc and right click on the playing video for option.

yeah ... use the snapshot tool of VLC... but the 'seek' function of VLC isn't that great... so maybe you should give GOM player a try...

To take a snapshot of the video displayed by VLC, you just need to press the pre-defined snapshot hotkey:

*

Windows / Linux / Unix: Ctrl-Alt-s
*

Mac OS X: Command-Alt-s
