Is there any software out there where a person can create a decent looking jpg. or Bmp still image from a mpeg or any video file? Thanks guys!

BSPlayer can take screen captures for an MPEG with any screen size you want (including full-screen).

Ctrl+I will do it in Windows Media Player ;)

Didn't work for me. Maybe its because I have WMP 7? Do you need 9 to use CTRL + I?

Probably since technically it's under the dvd features but it works with all video formats that WMP can play.

PowerDVD has still picture capabilities. Just click the camera.

To use Print Screen with WMP, go to View and select Options. Move the Hardware acceleration slider to 'None' and click OK. Then pause the video where ever you want and press your Print Screen key. Now you can Paste the screen shot into any image editing software, like MS Paint, Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, etc.

Easier to use Ctrl+I :P And with this way, you don't need to open up MS Pain er I mean Paint... A save as box will come up letting you save the picture as whatever.
