I agree with a few of the other comments that you should contact the photographer for the photos. As mentioned previously, screencaps of the .MP4 video will be lower resolution. More importantly, in my opinion, somebody who hires a photographer shouldn't be required to extract frames from a video slideshow to get the pictures, especially if the photographer is being paid. An earlier reply mentioned that depending on the contract entered into with the photographer, the photographer may actually retain ownership of the photographs of you and your colleagues. You could capture each image manually, using a screen capture feature like VLC offers, but the method in the link posted by Max for automatically generating an image sequence of a video using FFMPEG looks pretty useful and straightforward. I'd personally attempt using FFMPEG before resorting to manual screen capturing. fnord, djs On Wed, 2012-02-15 at 11:47 -0600, Max Shinn wrote: > FFMPEG can do this.
