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.

Good Luck
