Thanks in advance for any comments or suggestions.
I do this all the time, and you won't have to spend a cent.

Simply download the videos (KeepVid and the Firefox VideoDownloader add-on are both good), play them locally in your favourite video player and pause them at the appropriate point (wherever you want to capture the image). Take a screen capture (it depends on what OS you have, but try the Print Screen button if you use Windows, and SHIFT-CMD-3 if you're running OS X).

Open up your favourite photo editing software, paste in the contents of the clipboard (probably just CTRL-V or CMD-V) and cut out the bit you want.

If you're not sure what I mean by any of this, let me know - I'm happy to go into more detail.

With the audio comments, how do you want them to be activated? It's again a simple matter to record a brief snippet on your computer, and play it back when the image is clicked or whatever.
