Software to capture from webcam one file per image

[Colin]

Greetings all,
I'm looking for some freeware s/w that will capture images from a web cam to
provide input to some Stop motion animation for students.

We intend to use M$ Movie maker ( thats that we already have at the school)
and then feed in multiple pics that the students will capture via the web
cam.

So far I can find s/w that will capture frame by frame upon command, Or
capture a frame every so many seconds......
but will then output the captured pictures as an AVI, or animated gif.

Would like to give the children the opportunity to manipulate the result,
and "fix" any picture thathey may have messed up.

In short I think I'm looking for something that will capture a frame/picture
upon command ( mouse click etc) and then output that frame ,( with
sequential filenaming) ...
then we will able to manipulate the pictures into something usable later
one.. This will also assist in students being able to collect / produce
their captured pictures over a few weeks, and then assemble into the
finished product at a later time..
Sounds straightforward, but I'm having trouble pinning something down....
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe this one

AMCap
(The download file is 140Kb large)

AMCap is a small yet fully functional video capture and preview application
compatible with Microsoft DirectShow (formerly ActiveMovie, hence the
name). It is based on the sample AMCap source code from the Microsoft
DirectX 9 SDK. I added many features that I was requested,
including:
+ still capture (Ctrl+L) in BMP, JPEG and PNG
+ support for compression (Windows Media 9 Series only)
+ remember Video Input, Video Standard and Video size from previous session
+ full screen mode (ALT+Enter)
+ support for multi-monitor (using VMR9)
+ caption bar and menu on/off (F11)
+ always on top feature (F12)
