I would like to capture still pics from .wmv files that dump into my
iPhoto library from my digital Olympus camera. I can freeze the shot
I want and click the pic to remove the control strip but as soon as
I move the mouse to use a capture command the control panel
reappears. I'm not finding an answer in iPhoto help. I'm using
iPhoto '09. I'm hoping for a simple method to do this. Anyone else
do this?

Have you tried using the old school command-shift-4 partial screen
capture command? command shift 3 captures the whole screen, but 4
brings up cross hairs that allow you to only capture part of the screen.

The command shift 4 will work fine but as soon as I move the mouse the
control panel reappears in the picture. I need to get the picture
without the panel in it.
Then there is the 2 step. command shift 3 takes the whole screen without
moving the mouse, then edit the resulting file.
Or, open the movie in VLC or Mplayer and screen shot it from there.
Sorry, don't use iPhoto so can't really help with that.

A freeware app you might try is called SnapNDrag

Besides having several options for the "normal" screen shots
it's got a timer feature that may do what you want.
