You can use a tool like Smacker (radgametools.com) to convert the video 

frames to bitmaps. Then select a few frames. Then use Photoshop to increase 

the contrast and convert to 1-bit (black/white). Then probably autotrace in 

Flash or Adobe Streamline or Freehand, although you might also just retain 

it as a bitmap (see which ends up being smaller file size).e
