Prints from videos

New to video recording. Can prints be made from videos and if so what quality will they be compared to still shots?

Theoretically, yes; realistically, no.

HD video resolution is just under 2 megapixels, so you wouldn't be able to print anything much bigger than a 5x10, maybe.

You could make small prints from a 1920x1080 still frame capture of a 1080p HD video like this one from my Panasonic HDC-TM700 but don't expect it to be as good as a still shot at much higher MP.

Actually, you could make a larger print but it would not be a "photo quality" print. You just have to specify a smaller dots per inch.
