Abstract
Methods for providing digital video images and corresponding still images that exhibit a relatively higher resolution are provided. Preferably, the method includes the steps of: enabling frames of image data to be provided to a user for rendering as video images, the video images being configured for providing at a first resolution; receiving a request for image data corresponding to one of the frames of image data; and enabling image data corresponding to the requested one of the frames to be provided to the user for rendering as a still image, the still image being configured for providing at a second resolution. Preferably, the second resolution is higher than the first resolution. Systems and computer readable media also are provided.
