If I understand correctly, you want to capture the image from an .avi file.\n\nYou don't need any fancy program to do this.\n\n1.  Play this .avi clip with window media player.\n2.  Pause the clip to the frame you want to capture\n3.  Press button Print screen on your keyboard.  (when you press printscreen on your keyboard, an image  of what you seing on your screen will save in clipboard.)\n4.  Open Paint (start, accessory, Paint)\n5.  Click Edit, paste.  An image of the whole screen will appear.\n6.  You can select the area of the image, crop it, and save it.\n\nThe whole process seem long, but it's very basic and simple.\n\nhope this help

You simply need the correct codecs (COmpressors and DECompressors) installed to play the files.\n\nThe one I use is called K-Lite Codec Pack, and is free.\n\nYou can download it from here: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm
