I'm looking for freeware to extract images from an AVI movie file. Know of any? I would like to extract all the images from the AVI file, all at once, not pick and choose.

Why? if they are not your images then the chances are you'll not be able to use them legally.

I got Windows Movie Maker but I'm not sure if it can do what you request.

If they are your images then why do you need a program to collect images from a .avi file? Surely you'd have them somewhere on your computer or you could easily get them from somewhere.

I want to grab still shots out of a movie I recorded.

I see. That would make sense. In which case, is there anything wrong with doing just a screen print?

CTRL+Print Screen (or PrtSc on laptops) would do the trick easily.

Having said that, i really should have said...

Alt+Print Screen button as this would print what you have on your vid rather than the whole screen. You would then go to paint or photoshop and do a paste and then save the file to whatever you like. It may copy more than the image, if this is the case then just do a crop (takes just a few seconds).

I could do that... but I want to grab EVERY frame, to grab specific ones that are hard to pause on in Windows Media Player. Too bad it didn't have a frame advance control in it!

Yeah, get Adobe AfterEffects ... with that there is an option to save a specified time-length as frames ... So you'll just specify the length of the whole movie as the specified time-length ... I'm sure you can get a 30-day Trial Version from the Adobe website
Let's leave all our *plum* where it is and go live in the jungle ...

I am looking for something that is free forever, not just a 30 day trial. But, thanks.

Okay, and while your looking you get your job done with a 30 day trial. (Or part of a job done).
