Rover_KE1 The video froze on a blurry still.Hi Rover,
Shouldn't it be:
1 The video froze to a blurry still.
Also, I am quite unclear with #2. That froze on seems to disturb me. Can you help me out?

Hi Prajwal,
I've only just noticed your supplementary question.
1. I could accept to as well as on.
2. How about this: 'The image on which the video froze was blurry.'
Or 'The frozen image on the video was blurry.'
