How can i get the best quality screen grabs from vids shot on my 3CCD Sony VX2000?

Right now i'm getting pretty poor quality blurry grabs and i know i can do better (i've seen other sites using the same camera and they're getting much more crisp grabs).

btw...right now, I'm putting the raw AVI through frameshots pro

Thanks!!

This question gets posted every month:

You want the best quality, you should hand pick the exact frame you want in your editing app to export, one with no motion or blur that is lit good preferably, so that you start with the best image possible. Then you deinterlace image and sharpen it a little bit, maybe brighten it in Photoshop or any other image editing app and increase the contrast too.

If you want to do it automated and cull down the resulting images to the best, there are a few apps that can do this pretty good including SnatchIt (the newer version has a different name now).
