What software will extract high quality stills from video?

Which windows-based video editing software has the ability to extract high quality images from video by allowing you to select a specific frame and then the software analyzes a few frames on either side of the selected frame to smooth out the inevitable video noise? I’ve seen an application called Video Enhancer do this for a full video but not for extracting just a single high quality frame from a video.

Hey Frank,

Try out trakAxPC Pro. It’s a new editing suite that allows you to edit and mix any combination of audio, video and photos. You can jpeg snapshots of video, do effects, text, split screen, reverse, slow-motion etc, plus upload your video directly to YouTube through the application. There is a free forever lite version and paid pro version available.
