So how would one make screencaps from an avi file?

I watch the .avi files in Power DVD and use the capture button (has a camera symbol on it). That's the only way I know, anyway :)

Ugh. Avi player doesn't seem to have a capture button. *flails*

I mean DivX Player.

boofadil pointed me to bsplayer which has screen capture functionality and most useful has a free version.

Another cool thing is you can slow down the video playback by 10% increments which is helpful for capping and has the added value of being hilarious to listen to.

Oooo! Thanks. *gives it a go*

*sighs* So I downloaded it and it's working, but when I take a cap, I only get black and stripes. *cries*

Hang on! I found it! Yaaay! Mitchell caps!
