To extract pics from video using any media player

Few years back a non-technical person asked me how to get an image out of the video.

In case you don't find it then look for the button lable variances, like [prt scrn], [prnt scr], etc.  Then open MS-Paint from the Start → Accessories →   Press Cntrl+V to paste the taken screen-shot. Re-adjust or customize if necessary.  Save the pic wherever you want at your system's disk. Try to save it in *.png format. It's quality is better than *.jpg.  You are done!

Tried many tips and tricks but of no use. Suddenly I noticed the flash player version in the Project → Properties → Output → Platform section. Why is it set to flash player version 10.5? It should be set to latest by default. Anyways, I just changed it to the 11.7 and Yuppie.. it renders fine now. Hence if you are using the version of flex sdk that came after the version of flash player you are using then you can face similar...
