I'm guessing that if you can't find that S/W, there may be other
programs that'll do it. Google, and with luck you'll find a free one
Also, if I'm right about the format of the non-memory-card stills,
if you capture the tape footage in the usual AVI fashion, your
current editing S/W may provide a way to capture a still frame from
the AVI file. Hopefully it would then let you save it as a jpg or
whatever...A quick look at the Pinnacle Studio 7 manual says that it
will save such a capture still image as bmp (it just happened to be
the first printed manual I could find at this moment; I don't even
have any Pinnacle S/W on my computer any more!).
I guess the Pixela S/W might do it in a more convenient fashion, but
tre other should work OK.
Good luck.
