in reply to Extracting a frame from an avi

I Use 'Paint Shop Pro' (Windows shareware available www.jasc.com) with its 'Animation Shop' application.

This reads in an AVI and you can cut one of the frames and paste into PSP and save as a JPG.

Im sure there are many other AVI manuplation tools around
