You can use mytharchivehelper to grab frame(s).

This will grab a single frame 123 seconds in from infile.mpg and save it
to outfile.png
mytharchivehelper -t infile.mpg 123 outfile.png

This will grab 25 frames starting from 10 seconds into infile.mpg and
save the frames as outfile-1_01.png outfile-1_02.png etc
mytharchivehelper -t infile.mpg 10 outfile-%1_%2.png 25

See 'mytharchivehelper --help' for more details.
