Video stills

brownbabygirl

Hi,

I have a wedding video. My photographer missed some shots that I would like to take from the video as a still. I am not technically inclined and wondered if anyone knew of a company that could capture the 15-20 photo stills I need to extract and put in my album.

Thanks

The second uses vlc (by videolan) a very well known free program ,I'd try this first.

As spakker says VLC player is good, as the video plays it has the facility to take a snapshot, if the snap isn't what you want just play it back again and experiment.

Also VLC player is free to download.

thanks. I tried vlc. very good and easy to use. however, the images seem hazy and not so sharp.

forget my message above! I used the dvd instead rather than the online file and the images are crisp and clear! thank you!!!

The kodak instant photo kiosks at boots do this now. The print quality might not be amazing, but they do three sizes and it won't be pricey :-) HTH
