#include<opencv\cv.h>
#include<opencv\highgui.h>
#include<opencv\ml.h>
#include<opencv\cxcore.h>



int main( int argc, char** argv ) {
cvNamedWindow( "DisplayVideo", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );
CvCapture* capture = cvCreateFileCapture( argv[1] );
IplImage* frame;
while(1) {
frame = cvQueryFrame( capture );
if( !frame ) break;
cvShowImage( "DisplayVideo", frame );
char c = cvWaitKey(33);
if( c == 27 ) break;
}
cvReleaseCapture( &capture );
cvDestroyWindow("DisplayVideo" );

Try this.(press "f" button to save frame)
it's your code with some changes!

#include<opencv\cv.h>
#include<opencv\highgui.h>
#include<opencv\ml.h>
#include<opencv\cxcore.h>
#include<fstream>



int main( int argc, char** argv ) {
cvNamedWindow( "DisplayVideo", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );
CvCapture* capture = cvCreateFileCapture( argv[1] );
IplImage* frame;
int num=0;
char s [20];
while(1) {
num++;
frame = cvQueryFrame( capture );
if( !frame ) break;
cvShowImage( "DisplayVideo", frame );
char c = cvWaitKey(33);
if( c == 27 ) break;
if (c == 'f')
{
sprintf(s,"frame%d.jpg",num);
cvSaveImage(s,frame);

}
}
cvReleaseCapture( &capture );
cvDestroyWindow("DisplayVideo" );
}

WOW this is exactly what i was looking for many thx, dont wont to be pushy but could you explain what your changes do and how, also is it possible to referee to these captured frames and process them like blur, threshold bounding box.....? regards

if (c == 'f')

{

sprintf(s,"frame%d.jpg",num);

cvSaveImage(s,frame);

}

this part save image when you press f

if you want to process them you can type what you want in "for loop" and then save output. cvSaveImage(s,output)
