Oh, I'm sure it *can* be done in IDL. But if your question
is really "Is it worth my time to do it in IDL?", then I think
the answer is "No". (The answer is probably "Hell no", but I'm
trying to clean up my act a little bit.)

Get yourself a good MPEG player that can stop the movie
where you want it and a good screen shot utility. There
are lots for free or for little money on the web. You
will be a LOT happier. :-)

Cheers,

David
