As you know, since October 1st any link posted without a description or a preview picture will be removed.
So here's how you create a preview picture of a video.

1. If you already have Irfanview with all the plugins, skip to point 6

2. Download the FREE Irfanview here:
http://www.irfanview.com/main_download_engl.htm

3. Download all the plugins for it here:
http://www.irfanview.com/plugins.htm

4. Install Irfanview

5. Close it and install all the plugins (double click on the downloaded file)

6. Open Irfanview

7. From the File -> Open menu, open the video (remember to select "All files (*.*) on the File Type list)

8. When you want to create a picture, stop the video

9. Click with right button of the mouse on the video image and select "Copy"

10. Select Edit - Paste

11. Select File - Save As, choose "JPG - JPEG files" from the file type list and give a name to that file.

That's all!
