Are we talking about single frames, or scenes, cause there's many ways to grab single frames.
I want a few specific frames, but I'd still take frames around it to compare and see which is clearest and such. These images are essential to the wiki at the moment, as they are the first and currently only occurrences of some key figures and we'd like some display of them.
Video Snapshot Wizard was the most promising, as it reduced the lag my computer experiences on higher definition videos while allowing me to cut frames, but they put watermarks on the end result for obvious reasons:

Download DownloadHelper, see if that works.
I think that's what it's called. It's for Firefox.
I do not trust an image saved in the cache plainwise to retain perfect quality, but again, my main problem is having to cut each frame out. It feels like the long way.
Also, that's how I downloaded the .flv from GameTrailers.
I had an addon for Firefox that let me download any flash video as a .flv or .avi, but I think it's incompatible with 5 now.
Firefox 5? I just remembered as I read your post that Downloadhelper has a converter, so maybe that would work because it is more direct, but I'd still want to avoid any quality lose in conversions. I had that with another video, and the end result was ugly and blurry.
