Extract the frames from your video file with virtualdub (http://www.virtualdub.org/) (it's freeware) then get Jasc animation Shop 3 off this topic (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/showthread.php?p=1044833&highlight=animation+shop#post1044833)

you can also just use AnimatioShop3 for small videos (1-2 minutes) and just extract frames that way. Depends on how much RAM you have.
512MB will be stable. 1GB will keep the program from overloading.
