How do i change a Bitmap image to JPeg?

[Janus 28]

I took some footage with the digi camera of moving objects. As the footage plays on the PC (in the Arcsoft software bundled with the cam) there is a useful option to capture stills which i did.The footage is recorded in MPEG4. These stills open fine on the PC. I noticed that they are in Bitmap format though. I want to upload to a site that only excepts JPEG files.

 

When i click on the "properties" then click on "change" i do not see an option to change to JPEG. Can it be done & how? Thanks.

Right click the file and choose "open with" > Paint (or "choose program" > paint)

 

Then when in paint go to "file" > "save as" > and "save as type" choose "JPEG" from the drop down box. > click the "save" button.

The method given does work on all versions of Windows from 98 upwards (95 didn't have JPEG support as standard). What part of the instructions failed?
