How do I take snapshots from my video?
I know the button "snapshot" in the Video menu but where is the file saved? How do I open the snapshot?
Thanks!

By default the snapshot is saved to my pictures folder. You can change this and image format by navigating to settings -> preferences -> video. Png and jpg are standard image formats and can be viewed by any image viewer program. I recommend using free irfanview from http://www.irfanview.com.
