Anonymous File :-(, x)
I have relatively little experience, but I've already found that you can get by very decently with Fraps, VirtualDubMod and ImageReady.
Fraps it if it isn't already a video file, then in VirtualDubMod, crop it and go to File > Save Image Sequence, then in ImageReady, go to File > Import > Folder as Frames. ImageReady uses "Bounding Box" and "Redundant Pixel Removal" by default, which are each a must for getting a decent file size.
Also, I find ACDSee to be a very quick way to batch resize/convert images.
And to wrench videos from the cold steely hands of the internets, use Firefox and go to Tools > Page Info > Media tab, and/or get a download manager, and/or get this Firefox extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2390/
And that's that. Really not that difficult, just wordy and involves a bunch of different programs.
The only trouble I ever have is with incompatible video formats. Anybody know any good, free/popular apps to convert .mov and rarer formats to avi or mpg? I can never find any, and end up using some free trial version of some crappy thing I find on Google.
