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.
I am not sure what you are talking about, but if you hit 'print screen' while watching a video and then paste into paint, it will do a still image. I just tried it to be sure before I responded.

You might have a point though, I just don't see what it is. If you want to explain it (or anyone else can) I am always interested in understanding things better.
