how to get still images from gopro video???

[Bocephus]

i have a nikon digital camera that came with a nikon program that allows me to take still images of video i recorded with my camera. some of the best still pics i have are from videos. i now have some gopro video i'd like to do the same with, but the video file type from the gopro doesnt work the nikon software i have.

i have downloaded a video file converter program, but it saves the videos in VERY POOR quality (320x240 resolution). obviously that isnt going to work....

there has to be a program that i can snap still pics with out of gopro video format (and no i dont want to "print screen" during watching the vidio in windows media player and copy/paste it into paint). any advice?

mpeg streamclip - get it here - http://www.squared5.com/

jus toggle to the frame - and click export frame. jus watch where it saves, cause i think it defaults to the source folder. you can also select quality.

hey thanks man. this has been the easiest program to use so far. by buddy didnt have his camera set on full HD, so my pics are the greatest. i just got a hero3, and plan on recording in full HD. so we shall she what kind of still images i can get out of that.......
