Thanks. Do you know what the resolution is of "snappy". Most video I think is
about 72dpi (dots per inch) but I may be off here. I don't know what "frame
grabbers" (generic for what snappy does - grabs a video frame) do. Good color
resolution for printing has to be upwards of 300 dpi and preferably higher
(600-1200).
