Guessing you want seperate files.

$ mplayer -vo png foo.avi

will leave you with:

$ ls *.png
00000001.png  00000006.png  00000011.png  00000016.png  00000021.png
00000002.png  00000007.png  00000012.png  00000017.png  00000022.png
00000003.png  00000008.png  00000013.png  00000018.png  00000023.png
00000004.png  00000009.png  00000014.png  00000019.png  00000024.png
00000005.png  00000010.png  00000015.png  00000020.png

guessing one per frame.

$ mplayer -vo help

To see what other formats are supported.
