How can I extracting frames from video clips to make photos? What Software do I need?
Thanks
Joe

Here's one way.

I had this in Real player. I opened the file, brought it up to full screen. Stopped the play.
I pushed print screen on the keyboard.
I opened paint, and pushed edit, then paste. The screen picture came up.
I then hit the little square button and made a window of what I wanted to keep and went to the edit and clicked on copy.
I then clicked off the picture in paint and selected
paste. The picture I selected came up. From there you can print it. I saved it as jpg so I could put it on here.

It's blurred, but that's what you getwhen you stop a video.




Little bit of work, but it works.

Cyberlink video player is what I use and does a good job. Here's a picture and if you want more info send an email http://www.cyberlink.com/products/power ... en_US.html

I just recently procured a free program called video-edit-master. (And I've looked at a LOT of video software.)

It is pretty easy and straight forward. Can be had @

http://download.cnet.com/Video-Edit-Mas ... 61758.html

Which brings up another general caveat I would like to share for those with less knowledge on the subject.

ANY TIME I learn of some freeware on the web, that I might want, I ALWAYS get it from http://download.cnet.com (google: "download.com"). If it's not on Download.com, I probably don't want it. (Something like a new Java RE would be an exception.) Let me state I have NO vested interest in CNET. I only wish to be helpful.

Here's the reason: Even (or especially) popular freeware usually get their name hijacked by malicious websites that will turn up in a google search for said software. Invariably, the installer file from these sites will, a) ask for payment for the software, or b) require you to also install some piggy-back software you don't want, or c) secretly install malicious software that you won't even know about, or d) any combination of a, b, and c.

My 2 cents.

That is the best program I have used. And it's simple.........Doesn't install into the registry to mess things up. Just like the old DOS days.
Congrats......

Gotta love those "unwrap it, and it works" programs.

Any time I can help someone out for 2 cents, it's a good day.
