converting video to images by secends

Hi I am trying to convert a video( MP4) to images such that the number of resulted images are same as the length of the video in seconds. for example, 2 minutes video would be 120 images each image is representing one second shot from the video. i have tried the following code
%
path = fullfile('C:\','Users','user','Downloads','data_test','videos');
movieFullFileName = fullfile(path, 'GP020165.mp4');
v = VideoReader(movieFullFileName)
D=v.Duration
[path, baseFileName, extentions] = fileparts(movieFullFileName);
path = pwd;
outputFolder = sprintf('%s/Movie Frames from %s', path, baseFileName);
if ~exist(outputFolder, 'dir')
mkdir(outputFolder);
end
for k = 1:D
this_frame = readFrame(v);
outputBaseFileName = sprintf('Frame %4.4d.jpg', k);
outputFullFileName = fullfile(outputFolder, outputBaseFileName);
imwrite(this_frame, outputFullFileName, 'jpg')
end
Although I got the correct number of images, the division was based on the frame (considering the video frame rate was 30FPS) so I ended up losing almost 80% percent of the video content.
I think the problem is in these lines
for k = 1:D
this_frame = readFrame(v);
any suggestion about what to change in the code above?

Try this:
vidObj = VideoReader('myvideopath');
numFrames = 0;
while hasFrame(vidObj)
F = readFrame(vidObj);
numFrames = numFrames + 1;
imagesc(F)
drawnow
end
numFrames

thanks KSSV for your answer, I tried it and it counts the number of frames. I am afraid that's not what I need at the moment. assume I have 4 seconds long video with 30 fps frame rate, I want to convert it to 4 images, one at each second of the video. what I have got is an image at each frame so instead of 4 images I ended up with ~ 120 images.
Undefined function 'hasFrame' for input arguments of type 'VideoReader'.
Error in VIDEO (line 3)
while hasFrame(vidObj)
can someone sort this error
hasFRame is introduced in 2014b.....what version you are using?
