VLC Media Player is your friend...

Great for any video related content... No codecs to download!

Have you tried pausing the video at the snapshot in time, then press the PrntScrn button on your keyboard - normally found next to the function keys at the top of the keyboard and then creating a new file in whatever photoediting software you have and pasting it in there???

Did try that first, but the picture didn't transfer - just got a gap where the picture should have been.

Anyhow - sorted now thanks
