Hi,

Would be easier for many of these frame burning digi-guys to simply use some

the best frame from that?
Individual movie frames look (fill in own choice of derogatory description) compared to proper stills. Especially up to prosumer level. Despite real movie film being very slow (and therefore fine grained) the action it is designed to capture is an illusion. As each individual picture is only present for about 1/25th of a second, some blur or other fuzziness can be cancelled out by the brain's autosmoothing technique.
Thus, on movie sets, there will be dedicated stills photographers to produce publicity material.
