I need to convert a movie file (.mov) to a set of individual frame in
tiff format for making measurements from the frames for an experiment we
are running. How can I do this? (I run Mandriva if that makes any
difference).

If mplayer plays it, it will be able to dump the frames too.
man mplayer.

mplayer can do that (not to tiff directly, but as indivual frams of
jpeg, pnm, png, or tga files, which in turn can be converted with
ImageMagicK's convert program to tiff).

I don't know if kino can do that or not.

OK, will look into that. If you have a hint as to which options I need
to tickle I would appreciate it.

transcode should be able to do the conversion to tiff.
