Converting video to still frames
Hello all, been a while. I am working on a random project, and I need to be able to work with the individual frames of a video file, as images, so I can convert them and work with them in my program. Does anyone know of a free program I can use to do this? The problem is, I need this conversion to run on a school computer, so it needs to be self-contained, as registry installs and other such things do not work so well.
If there is a way to do this using code in VB.NET, I could use that as well. I'm just stuck on options right now.
Thanks!

If you want to do this yourself, DirectShow should do the trick (use the MediaDet class).
I'd just use VirtualDub, though.

I don't know if it's worth complaining about lack of ASF support, given that it doesn't even support MPEG-2. Fortunately there's VirtualDubMod for that.
I've put this version on my PC and it doesn't have wmv support either it seems, I've checked the help files, typed in wmv then tried again with windows media audio and found no results. No way to open/import wmv files eitherhop wrote:VirtualDub 1.3c is the latest version with ASF/WMV support. It's easy to find.
well two of mine are wmv, since they were originally made with WMM. I have no program to convert them to other format, which is why I checked the version of vdub you posted, but I had no luck finding any wmv conversion/open option. If you can find where it is i would like a screenshot. maybe they didn't made it obvious
