Saving screenshots of video?

Are you sure it isn't letting you open it in Windows Movie Maker?? Because I can open those file types in it.

Yeh, if I'm doing it correctly, then I'm positive it's not letting me open it.

Lets make sure I'm trying to open it the right way. --- Under file, there's a blank white paper icon for "New Project". I'm clicking on the icon to the right of it labeled "Open Project". I then browse and find my video, and say OK. It then tells me I cannot open this file because it's not in a version that it likes.

Am I right, or is there something I'm missing? :/

EDIT --- I'm an idiot. I found the import icon. LOL, I'll post again if I'm having trouble.

Thank you so much!

Okay, so I've got the video imported. There are many clips, and I have the clips that I want images from. How do I get the video to just have one frame saved of the entire video? I tried splitting the clip - that didn't help, really. Anything special I need to do?

On teh pane where the movie is playing, there is a little button with a camera and when you hover it says "take picture". Click this button and it will take a "picture" of the current frame. The images are saved in your My Pictures folder
