That's not what OP asked and probably not the answer he/she really wants to read. This being hacker news I had hoped the top comment would be something that actually might help someone who wants to create better stills from video.
I see this on a lot of forums: people not answering the question but feeling that they just have to give their piece of advice that OP is having the wrong problem.
Stop it. It isn't helpful. Especially to others who look for answeers to the same question (but perhaps for entirely different reasons).
- teddyh 7y agoThere are already tons of answers here in the comments about solving the problem as stated. I’m just pointing out that solving that exact problem might not be what they actually wanted. Realizing this before you go down a long, arduous, and possibly expensive, path to solve the problem, is valuable.

- stronglikedan 7y agoBut this isn't just a Q&A forum. It's also a discussion forum, and OP's post contributed to the discussion. It's good info, and can save the poster a lot of time, headache, and expectation.
- bborud 7y agoThe OP didn’t ask for legal or procedural advice. The question was a rather straight forward technical one. However, it came with context, which was a mistake because it drew focus away from the actual question.
