I would like to take 5 seconds of video and decompose it into individual frames. Is there a freeware program that can do this job? Thanks.
Use VirtualDub. Open or drag the AVI file onto the window. For mpeg or VOB, search for the 'mpeg2 plugin for VirtualDub' http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_tools/virtualdub.cfm
