Capturing a Single Frame from and MPEG-2 File

[ta2]

I have an MPEG-2 file, just encoded with CCE. I would like to know if there is a freeware program that will allow me to advance in frames (either one by one, by keyframe by keyframe) and extract a single frame from this MPEG-2 file to the clipboard or to a BMP file.

Thanks in advance.

Mpeg2Dec3.DLL, AviSynth and VirtualDub. All free.

Frameserve a short .AVS script into VirtualDub, crop either a single frame, or a group of frames, then export the frames (in .BMP mode).

My AVS script isn't working...

Here's what it looks like:

loadplugin("C:\MPEG2Dec3.dll")
mpeg2source("C:\movie.m2v")

Any ideas?

Thanks

It's ok, i fixed it by running DVD2AVI on the m2v file.

Sorry, forgot to add the DVD2AVI step. Good catch.
