video2pic( videoFile, outputPath, picFormat )

function video2pic( videoFile, outputPath, picFormat )
%VIDEO2PIC converts viedo frames into pictures.
%   This function uses mmreader to read videos. Thus video format supported
%   by system can be converted to pictures. Output file name follows the
%   format: VideoName_FrameNumber.PicSuffix.
%
%   VIDEO2PIC input parameters interactively.
%   VIDEO2PIC( VIDEOFILE, OUTPUTPATH, PICFORMAT ) runs as a
%   function.
%
%   videoFile: full path of video to convert.
%   outputPath: pictures will be saved under outputPath/videoname/.
%   picFormat: check 'help imwrite'
