ImageGrab is indeed mainly aimed at extracting images from videos. It try to make this operation easy, precise and efficient. Generally, it works with three simple steps:
1. Load a video, from various types or files with extension avi, mpeg, mpg, wmv, mts, m2ts, ts, vob, m1v, mp2, mpe, asf, mkv, mov, mp4, 3g2, m4v and perhaps others.

2. ImageGrab includes a video player that can browse frame by frame to a given position in the video (depending on the video) . The player can display in full screen, and can thus be used as a good alternative mediaplayer.

3. When the desired video's position is reached, a simple click (or the function key F5) captures a snapshot from the current picture.

ImageGrab has also an intervalometer feature, that helps extract automatically a lot of pictures at given intervals. A "script" mode is available to apply the power of ImageGrab to a lot of pictures at once.
Text may be inlayed in the snapshot, using various data from the video: timestamp, tank of the snapshot, datecode or timecode if it's a DV video.
ImageGrab is heavily using directshow filters (directX video functions). So be sure to have directshow filters (also known as codecs) correctly installed for the videos which you want to operate.
