How do you convert a video file into an image file?

I'm talking about the little short clips that people put on myspace as their profile picture. Myspace won't let me upload it because it is a video instead of a photo, but I know it can be done because other people have it.

If you just want to take a screenshot...
With some videos you can simply hit the Printscreen key on your keyboard, then click the Paste button in your graphic/image editor. With some other videos (such as DVD's), the above method doesn't work. For those videos you'll need to download a program called FRAPS. Download it here...

Just open the program, then load up the video and press the F10 key when you want to take a picture.
If you want to convert a video into an animated picture, you'll need to download a program called Animation Shop, load the video file, then click Save As and select .gif. Or just click the Animation Wizard. You can download the trial version here...
