3) Open up an art program (MS-Paint will do) and hit Ctrl-V or click Paste in the Edit menu. Your image will be pasted into the open document. (You may be prompted after the command to let the program resize the document; go ahead and allow that.)
4) Crop and resize at will then save it under any filename and format you wish.

Okay, I've been trying it, and all I get is some icon that I can't quite identify. What am I doing wrong? Is there a specific program I should be using to play back the DVD?

EDIT: Never mind, I figured it out. My MS keyboard's "F Lock" key, when active, kills the Print Screen functionality of the keyboard. Turn that off and life is good.
