I actually started updating the docs for the next release last night 
and I should post it sometime today.  There is a function that will 
save a still image from any movie on your harddrive to a file.  You can 
pass the time where the still image appears or grab the poster image of 
the movie.

I've been using the QT External in two projects I'm working on and have 
been pounding on it quite a bit so there are a number of bug fixes in 
this next release.
