I goofed while I (thought I)was taking some digital photos. They turned out to be digital movies. Is there any way to "freeze" a particular spot on the .mpg and "capture" that as a .jpg? (Or do I have to start over?)

Pause it in Quicktime on your computer and do a screen capture. On a Mac, that's SHIFT+Apple+3 to get the whole screen or SHIFT+Apple+4 to get crosshairs to select the area. The result will be appear on your desktop. It will be small, but it will be a jpeg.

Thanks! I'll try that (or something like it, as I'm on a PC and don't think I have Quicktime....)
