Trying to find a software

[ranvil010]

Can somebody tell me a software that specifically captures stills from video, that gives the best resolution from the video. If anybody can, I would really appreciate.

Thanks, I never knew Virtualdub had that feature, I mostly using it to encode; thanks again, I really appreciate your help.

Sorry, I am sorry to bother, but how do you exactly use Virtualdub to capture picture stills?

[Donny661]

Go to File-->Save image sequence...

and select only one frame on the time line.

I prefer VirtualDubMod. Just select snapshot from the video menu. ffdshow can also save out images, highly configureable so you can have it save out every 10th frame, a single frame, a range, etc.

I never really used this program before, could you tell me how to start capturing stills using this program?

If you pause the playing software , you could use Mwsnap to grab the sceen shot , and in jpg format , a lot more simpler than using virtualdubs method .

Virtualdub dose bmp and some other format , and saving pictures is a little more complicated than previous posts , because you need to locate the picture frame or frames you want and lock the start and end frames prior to grabbing them , otherwise virtualdub will do the whole file without warning .

Mwsnap is freeware , and handy for those who need snaps to complete guides , snap desktop , window , region , or sleected area .

You may also use ImageGrab, freeware and efficient.
