How do I get screen shots of a video?

I have a video that is a windows media file and I want to get screen shots from it. I tried playing it and then pausing on the spot that I want to save, hitting the 'print screen' button and pasting that into a photoshop document. The problem is that when I do that, the frame and controls show up, but not the actual still image from the video.

Can anyone help?

i use powerdvd to do this, hit pause and it has a snap shot button.
