avisynth

ffmpegsource2("your source.mp4").trim(framenumber, frame number)


throw it at any lossless codec.

if you want a RGB version of that screen do this:

install mpc-hc and madVR. save the screen as BMP or PNG.

Vdub says there is no function named ffmpegsource2 even after I went to https://code.google.com/p/ffmpegsource/downloads/list and unpacked both ffms-2.17.7z and ffms-2.17-cplugin.7z to the avisynth plugins folder

you need the FFMS2.avsi and the files from x86 in the same folder called plugins.

and you don't have to use ffmpegsource ther are other source plugin that can do the same.

cplugins can't be auto loaded with avisynth.
