spinal	I have been trying to use ffmpeg to extract all the frames from a movie, but so far I'm having no luck at all. The closest I got was to have a single frame from the avi, and I can't remember how I did it. apparently the following should work - ffmpeg -i video.avi frames/frame%d.jpg --v but I'm getting nothing. Can anyone help me out? Oh, I'm doing this under windows. \|edit\| So far, I have managed to get a single frame from the movie (the first frame I think) ffmpeg -i video.avi -ss 0 -s 256x192 -r 14 -f mjpeg framedump/image-%d.jpg --v What puzzles me, is that instead of being named image-1.jpg, it is image-d.jpg. ffmpeg seems to read the whole file, but only the first frame is converted, anyone know why? \|edit\| -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

JL235	I know that Media Player Classic can extra frames and you can also go through videos one frame at a time. Extracting each frame individually might be slow and painful but it is a solution.

Jayenkai	Depending on the format, but mostly universal, I use VirtualDub to do pretty much all my video based stuff.. (Like extracting the audio from Fraggle Rock episodes!) Plenty of options, ability to convert, rescale, and all sorts of other things. It's looking a bit old-hat, now, but like most of my favourite utils, it just does what it's meant to without requiring the power of 18 PCs in order to do it. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

spinal	Did it, converted a video clip to a bunch of jpg's. I couldn't find and options for compression though. ffmpeg -i video.avi -r 14 framedump\%3d.jpg --v had to be typed in command prompt, didnt like running from a .bat, weird. -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

TheMadProff	For future Reference, there are two that i use a lot: 1)Avi4Bmp Homepage It creates one large image, perfect for blitz animimage Works with .avi;.mpg;.gif; Saves image as BMP or PNG 2)Movie2ImageFree Homepage/Webpage Creates an image for each frame Works with .avi;.mpg;.mpeg;.asf;.gif;*.wmv Saves images as bmp -=-=- ''It works, but I'm not sure why it works...''
