Convert an AVI file to a sequence of frames?

I'm looking for a utility that can take an AVI file (or any movie file format for that matter) and convert it into a series of individual frames. Preferably the utility is FREE and preferably on Linux, but a free Window$ utility is acceptable. Anyone know? Thanks!

This explains how to create a movie file from an image sequence. I want to go the other way, create an image sequence from an avi file.

Sorry about that... When I run

% mplayer -vo help

It lists video output drivers of pbg and jpeg as well as gif89a (which says that it will create an animated GIF file). It appears that it's as simple as running

% mplayer -vo jpeg foo.avi

Thank you VERY much! I knew there had to be a way with mplayer, but I couldn't figure out the syntax!
