> Is it really that big of a problem? Why would you need to screenshot something you're watching? The OP doesn't say why he wanted to take the screenshot.

Wait... are you kidding?

Among other things:

  1  Fair use: Hey, buddy! Check out this cool still.

  2  Fair use: Wow, that's a cool shot! I'd love to make it my background.

  3  Fair use: Gee, that sucks! Director Martin M. McStupid made a bunch of CGI changes to his classic award-winning 70s film. I'd like to share some of the most offensive changes with my buddies on the Example.net Forum.

  4  Fair use: Totally awesome! The DVD9 release of this film was encoded with a high bitrate. Let's take some stills from fast-moving shots so that we can compare it against the DVD5 release from the 90s.

  5  Fair use: This movie no longer has its original theatrical color-timing. I'd like to take a sample from each shot so that I can come up with curves to do a shot-by-shot color-correction.
