That tutorial really helped. I had to use my imagination to find the
setting for the folder to save in but I got there eventually. And then
discovered that VLC ignored what I put in there and put it in its default
location. The image quality (from the Wildlife in HD sample video on Win 7
was stunning. Much better than anticipated.

Hi, Don--
VLC media player is for Windows and other OSes....and it should do just what
you want according to the description in this tutorial (I haven't tried it
personally, but now that I've found it, I will!)

Here is where to download vlc free:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html
If instead you are running Linux, vlc is for linux too. It's in the Ubuntu
package repository, but available from
http://www.afterdawn.com/software/audio_video/media_players/vlc_linux.cfmfor
other versions of Linux.
I've used vlc for playing videos; didn't know you could do this grab of a
still picture....so thanks for the question.
