If you've ever needed to pull a high-quality still from a video, you know how challenging it can be. There are certainly limits to how good it can be, just based on the resolution alone, but this software claims to make that process more effective. After looking through the site, I'd have to agree - the differences in images was quite clear. I also got a kick out of their Forensic video example - pretty cool to see what kind of data can be recovered from a seemingly useless image!
