Any one have the same problem?
What should I provide to solve it?
I save it as png, but jpg works.

Yup, same here, with fully updated 64 bit system with vlc 2.0.4-4.
The png file gets written and is always 2.0 MB in size. Opening it with Gimp gives the error message:
Opening '/home/me/vlcsnap-2012-11-25-13h57m02s145.png' failed: Error while reading '/home/me/vlcsnap-2012-11-25-13h57m02s145.png'. File corrupted?
Using imagemagick's identify to get info about the file results in:
~$ identify vlcsnap-2012-11-25-13h57m02s145.png
identify: improper image header `vlcsnap-2012-11-25-13h57m02s145.png' @ error/png.c/ReadPNGImage/3743.
Setting output to jpg also works for me.
So, it's not just you, seems to be something's broken somewhere. Sorry, can't help more, but at least I can confirm the behaviour.

If our currency were not money but appreciation and acknowledgement for what we do for others, for the community, for the benefit of all, we would have paradise on earth.

The generated PNGs contain nothing but zeroes:
$ hexdump vlcsnap-2012-11-26-11h08m57s93.png
0000000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
*
00e10c0 0000 0000 0000 0000
00e10c8
Also, chaning the file format to JPG doesn't work for me. I still get PNGs.

Morn, I had to restart vlc after changing the output format before I got JPGs.
Thanks for the report, reverland!

You're right, Sanne, it works after a restart. All VLC needs now is a JPEG quality slider in its prefs, then JPEG export would actually be useful…
