I put Shrek2 in my ~2 yr old notebook and brought up the DVD playing software (WinDVD4). Sure enough there was a button labelled capture and clicking it froze a frame in VGA (640x480) resolution. It had an option to save the frame to the hard disk as a .bmp file. I would convert it to a JPEG before I 'd upload it to save space though. MS Windows Media Player 9 seems to support similar functions (though I didn't try it). So in summary with a DVD-ROM on your PC and the right software you could grab a frame or 3 and Photopost them.
If going the digicam route, I'd try a dark room with set the flash to off, use a tripod and set the shutter speed to 1/30 sec (? or slower ?).
