Half-Resolution issue on DV Type1 files
Some of you guys reported that on certain configurations Video2Photo
captures Half-Resolution (360x288 or 360x240) stills.
What's wrong?
Sorry but this is not really Video2Photo's fault.
Type1 DV-files are normally decoded by the Microsoft DV Codec (or using a
third party codec in some configurations)
Thoose codecs displays by default the video only in half resolution.
However I can provide two hints around this problem for Video2Photo users:
1. Capture/use Type2 files (this would be recommended for future)
2. This solution is only if you use a Microsoft DV Codec (The majority of
configurations have this by default)
Download and start the following registry file to set the MS-DV codec to
high-resolution.

Getting Pictures from your VideoCDs and S-VideoCDs
To get pictures from youd S-Video CD or VideoCD just open the
AVSEQ01.MPG or AVSEQ01.DAT in MPEG2 or MPEGAV folder of your CD Drive.
To get pictures from a S-Video CD you need an MPEG-2 decoder installed
(usually bundled with a DVD Player Software).
One decoder which I recommend is:
MoonLight Elecard
MPEG-2 Decoder
VideoCDs needs an MPEG-1 decoder which is bundled in all current versions
of Windows/DirectX (XP, 2000, ME, 98)

Video2Photo in c't special 1/2003
On 1st October I received an e-mail from c't Magazin:
"... Dear Software Author,
The German computer magazine c't will publish a special issue
(subject: digital video) which includes a CD ROM with
corresponding freeware and shareware programs (publishing date:
winter 2003). Your software "Video2Photo" has been
pre-selected to be put on this CD ROM. Some of the programs are
also to be included on a CD ROM for the Dutch edition of c't."
I hope that the registration process will succeed and some of you can find
Video2Photo on the CD. Stay tunned...

AviSynth Support
AviSynth is a simple but powerful frame server. I just got the idea to
support AVISynth. It seems that the basic problem of supporting AVISynth
is seeking video. AVS files cannot be currently seeked to get the frames.
Maybe I need to use another interface or maybe AVISynth doesn't support
such interface at all. Any ideas?!
Otherwise I need to find an workaround.
