create still image from .mpg movie

Sep 21, 2005 6:10AM PDT

Hi, I am trying to create a still picture from a .mpg movie that I took with my Sony F717. I am using Pixela Image Mixer 1.0 that came with my camera. I can navigate to the frame that I want by dragging the slider, but when I create the still, the picture I get isn't the frame that I want. When I just play the movie, it only plays the first 10 seconds, and the still that I want is about 50 seconds into the movie.

I have a Pentium III, 800MHz, 128MB RAM running Windows ME. I'm using Image Mixer 1.0, but if there is better, free program anyone can recommend, I'll use that instead. Thanks for any help with this.

IRFANVIEW and VIRTUAL DUB on google.com From memory one of them does this.

I downloaded Irfanview and it worked like a charm. Now I have my first lightning pics!

Thanks again
