    I have some VOB files which I understand are containers for MPEG
    video and they seem to be self running and created by Cyberlink PowerDVD
    program. What I want to do is extract freeze frames or screen captures
    to individual files in BMP or JPG format. For some reason my favorite
    JPG image viewer (which has a great screen capture capability)
    cannot see the video images. When I do a screen capture all I get
    is a blank screen image.
    Does anyone have any ideas how I can do this ?
    Thanks

    Load the movie into AviDemux (select the first VOB of the main Title, usually - not always - VTS_01_1.VOB).
    Seek through it and save a particular frame.
    Include the extension with the file name, e.g. frame1.bmp
