[MacDV] Grab stills from video

[Jeff Smith]

I had to send photos for a magazine article and the only material that 
was available for the subject of the article was on miniDV tape. I used 
imageDV. ImageDV displays DV video as it plays from your camera or deck 
through the firewire input. When you get to the material that you want, 
you have the program capture a few second of the video (or as much as 
you want or will fit on your hard drive) and then you can make stills 
from any of the frames. I was able to get better stills that I could 
using the "create still" option from iMovie because of the deinterlace 
option of imageDV which improved some of the images.

ImageDV version 1.2 supports OSX and it is $30 shareware from
