My brother has a problem, and I hope someone here can help. After a recent
trip to Hawaii, he discovered that a number of his pictures had been recorded
by the camera as video segments rather than as JPEG images. Apparently he
inadvertently set a camera option to make that happen sometime during the
trip.

It seems to me that there must be utilities capable of converting video
segments to JPEG images, but I've never used such a program and don't know
where to find one. I'll do a Google search, but I assume that some of the most
useful expertise is probably to be found in this newsgroup.

The pictures themselves are essentially static (after all, my brother thought
he was taking still pictures), so I don't suppose they'll provide any
intrinsic technical problems of an insurmountable nature. Can someone advise
us?
