Hey TOGZ,

I’ll eventually move this thread to the Photography and Filming section of the forums, so if you can’t find it that’s where it will be. Also, here is the GoPro HERO 3 thread if you are interested: https://www.boardworld.com.au/forums/viewthread/8307/

Cheers. smile

Some programs have a “screen capture” feature but it’s essentially doing the same thing. I’m not sure if the quality would differ much or at all?

You might have more luck in the Photography and Filming subforum?

Mizu is right though. Most decent video playback programs i.e VLC have an inbuilt screen capture function which will export a still image.

Edit: too slow..

There was a question about video frame grabs. It was during winter. The thread is in photo/filming someplace.
