What would be the acceptable method of grabbing frames from Harmy's v2.1 AVCHD?

 

I am aware that the frame reference page says this:

Notes on Screenshot Capturing
Every effort was made to ensure the images are as close to the actual DVDs as possible. All screenshots are in JPEG format at 100% quality.
The method used to create each image: Load the DVD VOB file into VirtualDubMod -> Copy the screenshots into Photoshop -> Save to JPEG

 

But as far as I can tell (after using VirtualDubMod and some quick Googling), VirtualDubMod is old and not under development, so it doesn't support .m2ts nor does it play well with the MKV which I muxed.

I want to have Harmy's DE project added to the screenshot comparisons, but I want to use the method which is most acceptable. I can find the individual frames using Media Player Classic, if that is allowed. If so, what render settings should I use?

Also... why ought I to save the files as JPEG and not PNG?
