It's a bunch of steps. Once you figure it out, it's easy, but it can be a bit overwhelming (like making a soup out of nine vegetables - lots of chopping and stirring, pretty mindless, but still takes awhile).
Here's what I did to capture Powder's picture:
0. Decide if you want to watch the video in regular screen mode or full screen mode. In YouTube, you can maximize the video by clicking on the pulsing button in the bottom right corner of the video image section.
Be careful. Sometimes, viewing the video in full screen mode can cause the image to lack crispness and clarity, since the quality of the video is influenced by how it was originally recorded, and sometimes, viewing the video in full screen mode can cause more distortion.
1. Watched the video, and kept pressing stop/start/back/forward, along with using the scan bar. That took about a minute, and the most frustrating.
2. When the image I wanted appeared, I pressed "Prnt Scrn" in the top right of my keyboard. That stands for "Print Screen" which causes the keyboard to capture the entire image of the monitor into memory.
3. Then, I opened up "Paint", which is found in Windows Accessories.
4. I pressed "ctrl" "v" (paste), and the image showed up.
5. Of course, everything on my screen shows up in Paint and I need to clean it up. So, I use my mouse to just capture the actual image of Powder by using the "select" image (looks like a box with broken lines) in the top left corner of Paint. I use that to grab the image.
6. I pressed "ctrl" "c" (copy), then "ctrl" "n", then "No", then "ctrl" "v" (paste).
7. Voila! I now have just the image I want, all by itself in Paint.
8. Save the file.
9. Go to photobucket and upload the image.
10. After the image is uploaded, you now have an "IMG" tag.
