Any suggestions on how to grab high-quality stills from a video file?  

I'm trying to get some thumbnails for a youtube thingy.  But I want to be able to edit like a RAW file.  But it only saves in a JPEG.  

help?

IIRC raw is specific to cameras; there is is embedded info in a RAW that doesn't exist to embed in a screenshot.

But, again IIRC, I think it should generally be possible to save screenshots as a .png, which is a lossless format well suited for editing.


A useful search string might be 'lossless screenshots windows 57.3', or whatever OS/program you are using..
