Well, as you might remember, DS#2 went to his graduation naked under his robe. As he went up for his diploma, he lifted up the side of the gown so that you could see his hairy leg. Anyway, I missed that photo op, but there is a video tape of the ceremony. Is there anyway to take a photo from a VHS tape?

I'd just like to have it for future reference -- also to send a copy to my ex to remind him to keep his mouth shut! (He was the one that bet DS that he couldn't get highest honors and if he did, he could go naked!)

TIA

Yes it's possible but it will take a little doing.
First you need to be able to connect your camcorder or VCR to your PC. then you need a piece of software to allow you to do a frame by frame then you can get the frame and that would be your picture. Some Free software will allow you to do this.



edited I wanted to add that you'll need a video card that will allow you to capture video.

We bought something called a Snappy for our laptop to run video through it. I would imagine it would work on a big puter to but husband's asleep already so I can't ask him. ( Of course, we haven't actually used the device for several years - should we start a thread about gadgets that husbands just have to have and then grow mold as they sit there untouched?)
 

If it was digital then the quality will be good otherwise the picture quality may not be worth the effort.
