title: file format for video analysis
body: <p>I'd like to analyze some video. I'd love to be able to view a video as a series of image frames, but it seems that for compression sake this is hard to do out of the box.</p>
  
  <p>Which file format is most suited for computer-vision type analysis of video data? Basically, what video format is easiest to dissect with a program? I don't necessarily care about file size or the nature of the format as long as it is easy to crack open.</p>
