Hello, and welcome to the forum.

You can use VirtualDub or any of its variants. Open the .avi, find the frame, and use Video...Copy Source Frame to Clipboard, then paste in your favorite image editor. The popular variant VirtualDubMod also has a Video...Snapshot Source Frame that can save the image in various bitmap formats such as .png, directly.

Both Vdub and VdubMod can be found on Doom9's download pages.
