1. Click on timeline or otherwise select the frame you want.
2. If you have preview window set to external monitor turn off.
3. Adjust cursor position so the frame you want to capture is in the preview window.
4. Change preview to BEST, not absolutely necessary, but generally gives better results.
5. Click on the little floppy icon ABOVE the Preview window. NOT the one at top of Vegas.

The image will be saved with the name you specify in the folder you specify or you can put on the clipboard. Once saved it should also appear in the media bin.

Another thing I do is to resize the picture bigger with some kind of interpolation algorythm in Photoshop. If you can get a picture that looks good printed at 6 x 4, that's as good as you're going to get. Also, when you're choosing the frame, look out for interlacing artifacts.

I would also suggest:

1) maximizing your preview window first

2) depending on your source materials, change your pixel aspect to 1.0 (project properties)

3) if your source is interlaced, try "Blen" vs. "Interpolate" fields. you may find one or the other provides a better looking frame to capture.
