Does any body know of a good preferably freeware program that can convert a AVI files into JPEGs or BMPs as clean as possible.

Not sure what you are trying to do....have you an AVI movie that you want some frames (stills) you want to convert to jpg pictures.

If so just run the movie and pause it....then use Srip or another screen capture program and save the capure as what ever you like IE: jpg..bmp.

Or am on the wrong tram?

Quicktime Pro can cconvert the entire contents of a movie or specific frames into stills. TMPGEnc also can accomplish this task.

But do either have a trial JW? Quick time doesn't right? And Apple is the only one selling it for $30 tright?

And B, your method will take all day. JW's got the right idea.

TMPGEnc has a free trial, after ~30 days MPEG-2 encoding expires. All of the other features seem to work after the trial ends.

To convert the movie to a JPG/BMP/PPM/TGA file.
First choose your movie in the "Video Source" box. Click File, then click "Output to File", then click "Sequence JPG/BMP/PPM/TGA file"

---------------------------

No free trial is available for QT Pro, only the stripped-down QuickTime Player. (Which can be upgraded to Pro by entering a registration key)

Copied from QT Pro's help site:
"Saving a Still Image From a Movie
If you have QuickTime Pro, you can export a single frame from a movie as an image file.

1 Move the playback head to the frame you want to export.
2 Choose File > Export.
3 In the Export pop-up menu, choose "Movie to Picture" to save the image as a PICT file or "Movie to BMP" to save it as a Windows bitmap file.

To export every frame from the movie as a series of images, choose "Movie to Image Sequence." Exporting every frame can generate a very large number of files; you may want to export to a folder rather than to the desktop."

Not bad (TMPGEnc) but but trouble with large AVI files. Does it split files too or do U know anything that does?

ivnj

Not helping to split. TMPGEnc is still making to many black blancks.
