help conv video to JPG

[henniek]

A friend sent me a video of school pictures -  st 10 clases from 1950 till recent. The person who made the dvd used a video camera to copy the  photographs & added sound to it as well . Is there a way to "grab " the images , and convert them to JPG stills  ? I do not care about the sound 
I am using Windows 7

Hennie, whenever I post a video online, I like to place an image/picture of the specific video file.... so I use VLC player (it's free) .... as you play the video on your pc, you are able to take a snapshot of the specific frame .... sometimes the snapshot comes out lekker other times not....
