This too would be a lost in quality, besides also the file size. (don't think because PNG is lossless that it doesnt lose information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_file_format )
Can you explain that further, since that isn't very correct...

If you're talking about a static picture then there will be no quality loss at all if you simply grab that picture again and save it as a PNG.

If you're talking about a video, then yes you will loose the video when you grab it as a picture. But even then, the image you would grab would be exactly the same, without any quality loss, than the original frame.

ie: %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Messenger\<your_windows_live_id>\ObjectStore
