How to capture and extract still images from video

Wish you could take a frame right out of your video and save it as a picture? I have a bunch of videos stored on my computer taken from my digital camera with scenes that I would want to extract to still images. If you’re in the same boat, then read on!
For some reason, it’s pretty hard to find an application that extracts images from videos and that is free! I’ve been looking for one for a long time and I finally found one after reading a related tech blog.

The last time I right-clicked on a file, I was annoyed by the fact that it took 2 full seconds to load the menu. Why? Well because I had installed so many different applications on my computer that a couple of them added themselves to my right click context menu automatically!
Some program ask you if you want to option and others do not. Now granted, I probably said yes a couple of times, thinking how useful it would be to have that in my right-click menu, but there are still some I don’t even use!

Posted on April 28, 2008 - Filed Under Computer Tips | Leave a Comment
Want to enhance the video quality of that funny dance your friend just did which you happen to catch on your cell phone camera? With video cameras built into so many mobile devices today, including cell phone, PDAs, laptops, etc, there is an explosion of dark low-resolution and plain crappy looking videos all over the Internet.
Luckily, there’s a way you can enhance your dark or jerky or low-res videos so that they appear half decent. All you have to do is upload your videos and a software program will analyze how the neighboring frames in your clip are related to one another and combine them to make a cleaner, higher-resolution video.

Need a YouTube video in MP3 format? Maybe you just finished watching Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne for the 50th time on YouTube? With almost 81 million views, the video is popular! For goodness sake, why not just download it once and for all, convert it to MP3, and listen to it wherever you go!
Avril’s not for me, but there are definitely a ton of music videos I wouldn’t mind downloading into MP3 format from YouTube. Once you have it in MP3 format, you can use iTunes and transfer it to your iPod or other mobile device.
