Exporting images from a container field?

I have about 3300 records in a FMPro 6 DB and I would like to migrate this to another DB manager such as Access or MySQL. About half of the records in this DB have an image associated with them, in a Container field. How can I extract these images at little or no cost (except for my time)?

I have found FMExport, a program for exporting/extracting the images (and other binary data) but it is 99.00 USD per license.

Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

You could always use a scripting/macro language to automate copying the contents of the field and pasting it into a graphics program. Not a perfect solution, but it's free.

AutoIt 3 is a nice macro/scripting package for Windows, free and very easy to learn. http://www.hiddensoft.com

If you're familiar with Visual Basic programming, VBScript is included with Windows, and could be used the same way.
