I thought this is related to how some videos are played to the video cards memory (?) not to the display (?).

You can see the video in paint once you have pasted it... but paint is not capturing the image from the video... it's copying the display.. which is really showing nothing.... but you can see the video.. it's like you've pasted a window to the video.

I think you have to try playing the video in a player that will do a 'still image' capture.. then paste that into paint/paintshop and crop.
Or depending on the video type.. you may have to capture it to another format first, then do a still image capture from a video player.

Someone else might be able to explain better.
