You can create a new canvas to capture the image:

var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.width = 640;
canvas.height = 480;
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
context.drawImage(video, 0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);

and then save it to dataURI:

var dataURI = canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg');

From here you can use it in an image element, save it as a file or upload it to your server:

$('img1').attr("src", dataURI);

Take a look at this plunker. Start the video and press the GET button. Notice that since the video is coming from another domain I had to set the crossOrigin attribute on the video element in the jplayer ready event:

$(this).find("video")[0].setAttribute("crossOrigin", "anonymous");
