Well, as long as you brought it up <g>, Media Player Classic is still
my video player of choice. There is a Save Image option on the File
menu, and next to the skip button is a step button which advances one
frame at a time for getting that exact frame to save. And the one
thing I always hated about WMP is that you have to press Ctrl+P to
pause. In MPC, space bar pauses and so does clicking in the window,
and double-clicking toggles between windowed and full screen mode. A
much more intuitive interface. Add to that built in .mkv support and
it's easily the most versatile player out there.

I've done away with codec packs and find that the latest version of
ffdshow handles just about everything you throw at it. Any video
glitches have been solved with an ffdshow upgrade.

Any caveats? Depends what you prefer for subtitles. With VOBsub
installed sometimes you have to switch subtitles off in MPC or in
VOBsub. If you want chapter support in .mkv files then you need the
Haali Media Splitter installed, which can also add subtitles, so you
need to play with subtitle and renderer settings sometimes with
softsubs. My only current gripe is that softsubs can get scaled with
the player window. It's fine with a wide screen monitor, but on a CRT
with standard aspect ratio switching to full screen mode can make the
subtitles inproportionately large (the bottom karaoke lyrics in
Toradora overlap for example), but it's something I may be able to fix
with more tweaking.
