I have this slide show- series of photos- that a guy who doesn’t work here anymore saved as a wmv instead of a powerpoint. I want to access the individual photos so I can put them in my own power point. Is there any easier way of doing this than doing a screen capture of each of the 156 pictures? They don’t need to be print quality- 72 dpi will be fine.

I’m curious: what did you do? I had a similar problem a while back, and I wound up using the screenshot method.
