mpeg frame to jpg image?

If you run XP you can load the movie in Windows Movie Maker, you'll have this program allready installed (its free) and take the pic with that program of any frame you want.

Print screen then crop in photoshop... or try a screen cap program like Snag It.

Also windows movie maker works.

Just curious about windows movie maker....how exactly do you take a screen cap of a frame and save it into jpeg.

I played around with it for a while and couldnt get a pic out of the movie only more movies.

Snag It

Open iMovie and when you get to the frame you want, simply save it as a jpeg. Too simple.

It can split and convert films to Mpeg1,
make snap-shots with any size and quality,
also in batch-mode.

Videocharge.

when I do print screen on mpegs and paste into photoshop, psp, or whatever, the movie plays in the graphics prog its pretty funky ... but I know videodub works for it

VirtualDub, and it's free.

I think the guys from adult boucer made it.

Ulead Studio 7 does this well also.

A lot of good relpys to this thread.
If you can afford it, I use Sonic Foundry's Vegas Video.

Hey Wilbo, where in Baltimore you from? Not many adult webmasters around here

where did you hear about this one?

It was actually Odie.. and i'm suprised he released that url actually.

But I believe it was released to the AB community first [Considering i've had that proggy for a good week or so now]

I feel so privelleged

is odie the guy who works for adultpaymaster?

bigdog,
I got it from here -> http://searchab.com/webmasters/
I heard about it on one of the ab webmaster boards.

Project-Shadow,
Yea, I downloaded it yesterday for free, but 10 bucks aint bad. It makes very crisp thumbnails btw, you seem like a aboutbouncer pro. Did you see my question on the ab's board? My handle over there is cheeseboy. Just signed up with adult bouncer and I've got some questions.

cool software i like the fact you can choose the size of the thumbs. All it neends now is to integrate a video splitter prorgram in there

I just noticed something freaky....Any program I use to take a screen cap off of windows media player takes the cap....shows the image of the frame in the program but than when I save it....i get a black image with no picture. Any reason why it is doing this?

you cannot use print screen for a movie...

I am not using print screen I am using the capture tool included in the program. For example snagit....I do capture it shows the image than I save it as jpeg and than when I open the jpeg it is just a black pic. no image.

Yes you can.

u have to turn off 'Video Acceleration' in MediaPlayer, slider all the way to the left.

find it here

just do it

Hey guys. This thread got on my radar and I thought I'd stop by to throw my input.
SnatchIt! http://theedgeofforever.com/ is my program. I don't work for AB but I do have an AB site. =) I also don't work for adultpaymaster.

SnatchIt! is an awesome, simple program that makes excellent thumbnails.
Some features that everyone loves:
You can skip frame by frame to find exactly the shot you want.
You can take a snapshot of the movie before you save it to a thumbnail.
You can copy the full movie frame or the snapshot directly to the clipboard.
You can use it to open any movie that Windows Media Player can open. So unlike many other programs like VirtualDub, it'll open your WMV files.
It has a trim function that automatically trims any black edges on your movies and crops the image to exactly the size you want. Or you can turn this off, it'll just resample the thumb to the correct aspect ratio.
It has an Auto-thumbs feature that a few people asked for. You can set it to make a thumbnail every X milliseconds and it will save hundreds of thumbnails automatically for you.

I did initially just make one post on the AB forums to test the market and try to see if was working well for everyone. But I was going to try and spread the word sometime soon. =) So try it out. I know it?s made my life easier as a webmaster and I hope it helps you.

Also feel free to contact me for any feature requests. Someone requested video splitting but I don't want to get the program into an all in one video editing tool. There's already some great video editing tools out there. And people like that this program is simple. I am however working on adding DVD support so you can seek through DVDs just like movie files to find the thumbs you want.

I?m also working on another project to get it ready for public use. It makes thumbnailed web pages like this: http://www.lickthis.net/_preview/ It has it?s own scripting language. Not too complicated. But very customizable. It?s also got the SnatchIt! features built in so you can pick exactly the right frame to use for a movie clip. For example of how easy it makes my life, on the URL I just gave you. If I want to make the thumbnails each 100x100pixels and change the columns from 3 to 4 and the rows from 4 to 3 and change the banner text up top, and make all the movies point to another .html file, I could do it in a minutes worth of work.

OdieGiblet, looks great
