Most DVD players should have a button that captures stills, some will even save them as a file as well without the need for a separate program to paste it onto. If you need a stronger graphics editor than Paint, there are some good free ones out there - GIMP, Paint.NET, etc.
But the thing about DVDs is that they're only 720 pixels, and each still is part of a moving picture, so it's hard to really get a truly high-quality picture from it.
