    I was involved in an incident this morning and wanted to use stills from my camera to identify the man concerned to the police. Can't seem to see a way to get stills - has anyone managed this with theirs?

    Alternatively I could send the whole footage.

    Thanks in advance.

    I've used screen grabs of paused footage.

    sorry to hear you've had an incident. doesn't sound good.

    Thanks @SRD, just copy and paste a print screen? I'll try that.

    Some media players offer a function to export stills (at the resolution of the video file) - I use Media Player Classic, where ALT + I quickly exports the current frame.

    If you use VLC media player which works on all modern operating systems, you can pause the video and step through each frame one as a time by pressing 'E' . Once you find a frame that looks good, right click on the image and select Snapshot. (or go to the Video menu)

    You can also make it play it from 1/4 speed to 4x speed (Playback menu).

    I'll second VLC media player. It's what I've previously used to capture amusing* stills from video.

    (*by amusing I actually mean stupid driving, including someone driving one handed while drinking a coffee whilst overtaking me whilst turning left).

    Thirded VLC. The frame-by-frame skip through is a very useful feature for getting the best possible still. Have also used it on the Contour Roam 2 which I have.

    Didn't know you could do that with VLC! Thanks for the info.

    I use the JetAudio media player, which has a 'capture' button to screenshot the paused frame. Getting it to stop on the right frame to snapshot is always a bit hit & miss, so will use VLC in future for captures.
