Does that makes sense?? I took a video and there is a part in there that would make a good photo, is that doable in the D90?
It is but I am sure you will not be happy with the results and this true for ANY still camera that shoots video and someone attempts to print from one frame.
The process is called screen capture an is accomplished by freezing the frame on your computer and then "printing it to a file"
Here is the deal. All the still images you shoot with your camera use the full 12 mp sensor ( 4288 x 2848 pixels) at what ever shutter speed you wish from 30 seconds to 1/4000th second.
When you shoot video with the D90 you are shooting with only 2 mp (1920 x 1080i -pixles interlaced) at 1/30th of a second. At 1/30 of a second there can be both camera and subject movement showing up as blur. This is on page 203 of your user manual
The resulting images will be very poor when compared with any shot using the full 12 mp of pixels on your cameras sensor
It isn't difficult, but I agree that you will be surprised at just how bad the quality will be on a single frame..
This is how you can do it if you have no video editing software:
Play the video in Windows Media player, and pause the playback on the frame you want. Hold Shift and press Print Screen.
Open the editor of your choice and open a new blank document. Control-V or Edit-Paste will put your still shot into the new document. It's that easy.
Windows Movie Maker will also allow you to pull still shots out of the video.
