How can you make screenshots with VLC?

I want to make screenshots with VideoLan, is there a way to make this possible?

I only found this on the web,

Or is it possible to grab screenshots with other specialized software of the video while playing in VLC? The screenshot software I found, like HyperShotDX, can only make screens of windows or games, but not of running videos (the part of the video on the screenshot is just black, the same after using the print key on the keyboard).

You could try turning off hardware acceleration in your graphics card drivers and using Print Screen, but why make it difficult for yourself by using VLC? Just use VirtualDubMod instead.

Dunno bout videolan but powerdvd 5 takes snapshots at a click of a button or snagit might do the trick
