Be prepared for the image quality to be less than wonderful, but you can get a parallel-port video capture device like the ZipShot from ArcSoft, or the Snappy from Play. (Arcsoft is at www.arcsoft.com) These do about as good a job as it's possible to do at grabbing frames from video sources. Once in the PC, use any image editor to twiddle with them.
