Is there an application that will allow me to convert my movies taken
with a Kodak DX6440 to still frames / pictures?

Kodak support desk was no help. They told me to go to google!!

I have QuickTime Pro. With that application on my Mac (OS X), I can click
on any frame of an MPEG and drag it to my desktop. It is a "movie
clipping." I open it in my favorite image editor and save the frame as a
JPEG or whatever.

QT lets me step through the movie frame by frame, so I could click and drag
each one if I wanted to. QT Pro runs on Windows, too, so I expect similar
capabilities there.

Now all we need are HD cameras so the stills we pull off video are
bigger than a credit card.....

Mike,

I do not know what the Kodak DX6440 is, DV, VHS, Hi-8, 8mm motion film?

If it is about anything but motion film, and has either has an output to
either digitial, or analong, or you have a player for its format that does,
you can use Pinnicle Studio to do your capture and editing AND frame-grabbing.
You might have to get one of their vid-box boards, or similar, just depending
on the connections that you have, or need. This may well be overkill, but it
depends on what you wish to do, and what you have.

For the simplest, another reply suggested QT, but you need to have your camera
output digitized into either MPG, or MOV format (maybe will use some other
formats as well). If your movies are not yet digitized, you can have that done
by outside source, or get progam/connectors like Pinnacle.

Good luck,
Hunt

OK, I just Googled the DX6550 and it appears to have a "movie" mode. What
format does it provide, MPG, MOV?

I'd go with Phil's recommendation for QT. You will probably have to register
it for about US$40 to get their "Pro" version, which does far more than just
play back vids, but still well below Pinnacle's Studio 9 - which you COULD use
to edit the vids. Apple has a free trial of QT, and I do not know what is
disconnected in that ver.
