In Vegas you can copy a snapshot of any frame to the windows clipboard, paste that into photoshop or any image editing program, and save to your preferred format.
I don't think getting someone else's serial number will help you, old chap. One you get it you have 7 days to contact SF tech support and get an activation code. They will ask for the serial number and your PC # (remember?) When the tech looks up the serial # he/she will see that it is already assigned to someone else and, perhaps erroneously, suspect you are attempting to engage in copyright act violation. We lost the manual AND CD for ACID Music 1.0 but because we had registered it, it took the help desk guy about 30 seconds to give us our serial #, thus enabling us to upgrade to ACID 2.0.
Load up a file on the timeline, and find the frame you want to copy. When you can see the desired frame in the video preview window, use the copy snapshot button and whatever is in the preview window gets copied to the windows clipboard. The snapshot size will match the video preview window size. Open photoshop/whatever and do a "paste" image will get pasted into that application.
