I have just downloaded the latest version of VLC for Windows 32 - 2.1.2 Rincewind and it works fine to do this.

Steps:

1 - Click Tools > Preferences and click radio button All

2 - Scroll down and click the + sign next to Video to expand

3 - Scroll down and click on Scene Filter and fill in the info for Directory Path prefix (where you want to save frames). Don't click Save.

4 - Scroll up and click on the word Video under Filters

5 - Click the check box for Scene video filter and click Save.

6 - Open and run a video and it will save .png's

7 - To stop saving frames go back to step 5 and uncheck Scene video filter.
Easy really once you know where to find the settings.
