Grab the first 3 or 4 frames from video file

[BReeves]

This is kinda like the below question but somewhat different.
I would like to open an AVI video file then grab and save the first 3 or 4 frames as image files. I won't need to display the video just grab the frames and close the file.

Any ideas on how to do this would be appreciated.

Boian was kind enough to answer my question via email.
The VLCaptureBitmap demo shows the basics.
