I assumed that I needed an actual video editing program in order to grab a still image from a movie, but I was so wrong. To my surprise, that capability is built right into the VLC movie player that I use to watch iso files ripped from DVDs. You just pause the movie, and then use the Snapshot command under the Video menu. Voila! There's your still.
For myself, I want to use these stills as models to draw over within Gimp or Inkscape, but for a description of other legitimate purposes see the Stanford University guide to fair use.
