Capturing stills from web video

What software do you use? It's not even for me, it's for some people who called and asked me about it and I don't know what to tell them..but it's because I haven't a need for such things.

Anyone?

Are these videos being live streamed or is it like youtube videos?

Live steaming, not so sure how you can do it.

Something like youtube, just pause it and do a screen shot (usually a keyboard combo - PCs I believe is CTL+P, not 100% positive on the PC though, Macs - Shift+AppleKey+4) and then you could crop the picture in Paint or some other app.

Hope that helps

Just hit print screen on PC and paste into MS Paint for example.

I think it's like video files that they have on their computer is what they're asking me about. I should call them and find out what the hell they're talking about and then I can investigate. I was hoping they'd just email me, but instead they're calling me on the advice of their mentor.

I know how to take a screenshot, so that's not really what I mean. I'm thinking of something like Fraps is what they'd need, so it seems I might know more than I thought.

Thanks gang.
