Why can't I make screenshots of Movies? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Everytime I try to take a screenshot of a movie and put it in photoshop it is crazy messed up. When I move the layer around, the movie picture stays in the same spot. I can't crop it or do anything. I've tried saving it in different formats and even tried doing it in mspaint. I've even tried taking a screenshot of the screenshot and the same thing happens. Does anyone have any clue what I'm talking about?

You can also just d/l a free program that does avi/mpeg splitting, as most will do screen captures as well. I just d/l one yesterday to post up the family guy clip.
