Question: How to take a video screenshot?
I received this question many times this week and I figured out after a while that it would simply be easier to answer here than sending the same answer many times. The reason I never presented it as a tip is that I didn't find any freeware to do the job. So there actually is a real tip for today that is just under this post. The application I use to capture video screenshot is Snap Pro X. The application retails for $69 and it is really great for advanced screenshot. Once you install it, it will replace the actual "Command - Shift - 3" to launch up Snap Pro X. "Command - Shift - 4" will remain a Finder screenshot however. Learn more about Snap Pro X here on Ambrosia Software's website.
If you know of any free software that does the same thing, please let us know in the comment.
Edit: Sean Quinn posted a great free alternative in the comments: Copernicus. I never actually tried it, but it looks pretty good. You can check it out at http://www.danicsoft.com/projects/copernicus/. Thanks Sean.

Free screen capture, and can be set into a Snapz Pro X theme!

best one i've seen
Here's my opinion:
Snapz Pro is the worst video capture software out there... The horrible sounds, the crashes, the interface that makes you wanna stick a fork in your butthole and push it till it comes out on the other side... I prefer IShowU :D
The Widget "Screenshot Plus" is very good at snapping a screenshot of a video (DVD, for example). Very powerful widget that gives many options.
What's wrong with the grab a window widget? I got it as a tip from this site months ago and it works just fine.
Is there a free version that is not a demo for this or any alike?
Some time ago I found "Capture Me".
The tests i made were ok... but I never really used it. It's free.

SnapNDrag will take video screen captures.

And it's free.
I'm usint Screen Mimic 2.0. It's not free, but it's great.
Try Display Eater, it is free and it does what it does well.
I purchased Snapz Pro and HATE it. (I was told it was the best!) The reason I wanted a video capture was to do tutorial podcast. When I put the vidoe into imovie or garageband it is blurry!
CAN SOMEONE HELP?
I just used Screencast-O-Matic to create a free screencast to show my family how to navigate Flickr. It was very easy and captures audio as well - allows you to embed in your blog or download as a quicktime. My first one is here:

can't you just play your video in vlc player and than take a screen shot? always worked for me.
I tried Copernicus while running Corel Painter Essentials 3. When I started taking a video screenshot, Corel "quit while unresponsive." ?
