Hi all,
Found a couple good tips on how to view frame-by-frame using QuickTime 7 (first tip is using free quicktime player, second is using the pro player which costs $30).

1)
"You can now move the movie frame-by-frame, backward or forward, via the scroll wheel on a so-equipped mouse. If the movie is already playing, it will enter pause mode and then step frame by frame. Roll the wheel "up" for forward, and "down" for backward."
[This applies to QuickTime 7 Mac - I don't know for sure if it works on PC but don't see why it wouldn't.]

2)
You can export all frames as stills in one step, see last paragraph.  This applies to QuickTime Pro which is costs $30:
To save a still image from a movie:
    Move the playhead to the frame you want to export. Choose File > Export. Choose "Movie to Picture" from the Export pop-up menu. Click Options and choose a format from the "Compression type" pop-up menu.
To export every frame from the movie as a series of images, choose "Movie to Image Sequence." Exporting every frame can generate a very large number of files; you may want to export to a folder rather than to the desktop.
