Interestingly, the extracted file does provide a nice thumbnail on the
gnome desktop, but eog, gimp & imagemagick all complains about it.
The properties of the file says it is a Targa file.
(Targa was the Unix +FS, so I guess the megapov provider just make one
source... )
Renaming to .TGA allow eog to open it fine.

png has my preference (as it support alpha), +FN ?

Within 3.7RC3 (irrelevant, I know), write to bmp is with +FB. I do not
know if it would work with megapov.

On windows, I do not know.
I would probably rely on ffmpeg from the command line.
