Thread: How to make photos from a digital video camera recording.?

We have a Sony digital video camera that records on a small magnetic tape. When we watch recordings of our kids sports events, you can pause the recording and the still image on the TV is fantastic! Is there a way to turn these still images into photographs that can be developed at the drug store? I haven't tried taking a picture of the TV screen yet, we're looking for something a little higher tech.

Most editing programs will let you do a screen capture. This would be done on the computer.

Put your cameras footage on your computer. Open a decent video editing program (WMM will not do this) move time line slider to point you want picture extracted and tell your editing program to take picture. It takes high res picture. You then need a to convert that to a file that the stores computers will understand.
