A . will advance one frame. Using the left and right arrows jumps 10
seconds. Using the up and down arrows jumps 60 seconds. Using page-up and
page-down will advance 10 minutes. Using ! and @ steps throught chapters,
I think.

I had this problem when trying to play videos on a TV via s-video. There
is probably a better way to do this, but opening the video once, pausing
it, then opening it again from a separate terminal will cause the video in
the second window to be captured with various print screen programs.
looking now at
man mplayer
/screenshot
(then 'n' to cycle through)
This seems to give useful information, but using the 's' key as suggested
didn't work for me.
Hmm - I'll take a look at it, thanks, but not tonight.
