need a program to grab all frames of small videos and turn them into photo files - hopefully automated...

friend took new digital camera on vacation and accidentally shot all the shots as small 2-3sec videos instead of pics :(

there are like 200 2-3 sec videos, so again, hopefully it can be done automatically to a whole folder of vids..

thanks in advance,
bob

I assume that the files are now in a PC folder as small .avi files?

If they are anything like mine, the movie images are quite small compared to a still image and may be of lower standard than expected.

You can try loading one of the clips into VirtualDub and output the image sequence as .bmp or .jpg files.

A three second clip might have fifty images.

Run VDub and drag a clip on to the window.
Click 'File' > 'Save Image Sequence' and output the images.

Alternatively, you can select a particular frame and copy it to the clipboard and paste it in any of the photo imaging programs.

VirtualDub most recent stable
http://virtualdub.sourceforge.net/

There is probably a method of extracting all or some of the images from all of the clips using a script - I don't have expertise in that field.

thanks for the reply, i did find a program that does it all automatically - frameshots. it runs $30 but should do the trick.

sadly, the files will be smaller resolution wise, but they can't go back through the vacation :(

It should be possible to play the files back on the TV or convert them to a suitable disk format and play them back as movies.
Certainly would be a novelty item.
