How to atuomatically capture stills from video files?


I'd like to input an avi or wmv or whatever and then have it capture a still image every 1 sec... or every 5 seconds...


Something like that.



What do you guys use?

mplayer will do that. I'm pretty sure ffmpeg will to. These are numerous GUI front ends for both.

RATE
= 1 for every 1 second
= 2 for every 1/2 second
= 4 for every 1/4 second
= 1/2 for every 2 seconds
= 1/5 for every 5 seconds

In the case where RATE = 1/X, X cannot be > 20 or it dies.

use videocharge here for that
