What video format does your camera use.
avi, mov, or something else.
Need to know the camera model and make.

This is going to be more difficult than I thought.
For those who are not familiar with Panasonic FZ38, it is the European version of the Panasonic FZ35.
It creates video files who's name look like this ---> 0001.MTS
It is commonly called AVCHD Lite (Advanced Video Codec High Definition).
This format was established by Panasonic and Sony in 2006.

I have not dealt with this format, so we need some help here.
Is there anyway to extract one frame from this video format so that it can be made into a still picture?
Can anyone help?
...
I have been using a free video player called VLC which I downloaded from cnet. AVCHD video files are also know as M2TS files and, although I don't have any AVCHD video, the VLC software is supposed to be able to play AVCHD (M2TS) files. Also, under the Video menu at the top is a feature called "Snapshot" which will snap a picture of a frame of your video. Hope this may help.
