You could vlc, video->take snapshot.

Or if you want to use it in a command line you can use ffmpeg

Example

fmpeg -ss 00:10:20 -t 1 -s 400x300 -i video.mov -f mjpeg screenshot.jpg

(see http://code.coneybeare.net/how-to-generate-png-screenshots-using-ffmpeg )

a keyboard shortcut would help alot!

I agree with Baldrick, use VLC!

Shift-s. You can change it under the Preference.
