This might be tedious.

To extract an image, open the Media Selector, right click on the video (must be a supported format by EMC9) and select Extract Image.

or

From Roxio Home, open Media Manager. Right click on the video clip and select Extract Image.

Doesn't matter if it is "tedious" it is the only way when dealing with video!

Remember that an image extracted from the video will be the resolution of the video and no where near the resolution of a image taken by a camera.  In Media Manager, make the screen as big as possible because all you are doing is a screen capture of the window.  Using the captured image in a smaller size will make it look better. cool.gif

Regardless of what I say about computer maintenance, there is no need to defrag a solid state hard drive.

I don't believe that is true for Media Selector or Media Manager??? I don't have Media Manager installed but I believe it only captures DVD source at 720 X 480.

Whereas Media Selector does alter the capture size based on the size of the window…

Extract image from Media Selector or from Media Manager both call the same program so extraction is the same.  

What is not the same is the extract image if you click on the camera icon in VideoWave.  That one captures at the size of the preview window.

Perhaps I should amend my previous statement to:

"If you select to extract an image using either Media Manager or Media Selector in VideoWave, make the screen as big as possible because all you are doing is a screen capture of the window."
