Hello,

Anyone know of a tool that automatically takes a screencap of an mpeg movie each x seconds?

I found this on another forum I read...so don't ask me what it means cuz i'm just copying it over.

Made this console script and don't have the heart in me to charge for it:

Code:

#!/bin/bash for i in *.mpg *.wmv do mplayer -ss 00:00:04 -quiet -frames 2 -vo jpeg -ao null "$i" rm 00000001.jpg mv 00000002.jpg "$i.jpg" done

Run this in a folder full of .wmv and .mpg and it'll watermark all of them and make files called filename.wmv.jpg
Like this:

This particular script takes the screenshot at 4secs into the vid but can easily be customized to take user input on that - Also easy to implement into a php script.

You need mplayer installed.
Works with almost all files (depends on your mplayer version and config tho)
Simple!

This is the best thing I have ever seen since I have been online for doing this. I was told about it on another board and I can't believe how awesome it is. You can set it up to even do batch movies if you want... one of those "have to see to believe" things. Check it ou t.

snagit can do that too, but doing them manually gives you a much better result
