Use the following to extract the video.mov to jpg frames:
mplayer video.mov -vo jpeg

Use the following to extract 1000 frames from the 1178'th second.
mplayer video.mov -ss 1178 -frames 1000 -vo jpeg


If jpg's are not usefull, you can convert them to tiff with convert.

See 'man mplayer' and 'man convert'.

Convert is part of ImageMagic. You might need to install that, first.

Thanks. I did finally find the png/jpeg/.., options in that huge list of
mplayer options but thanks.

Since one of the purposes is to do measurements on the frame for a
scientific experiment I do not want layers of lossy compression so I
would probably use png. . How are the frames stored in a .mov file? I
assume that they are probably stored with some sort of lossy
compression.

..mov movie frames stored
