automated video screen captures
 

Ok! in Windows 7 I want a program that will take my HD or SD video movie (mpg wmv mp4 mov) and capture a certain amount of jpeg screen captures.. e.g. 1 every minute, or 50 images per video.

I used an oldskewl program named frameshots but what's the modern day equivelant :)

Video Charge...

Video Charge

sweet, will try it out - just didnt know if it could take photos on a per video basis or timeline :D

VideoCharge has been the best Windows app for this for almost 10 years now.

I still boot into Windows to use it from time to time.

ffmpeg is what you want.

Install ffmpeg and run the command below.

ffmpeg -i moviename.mov -r .1 -aspect 16:9 -vf yadif preview-%d.jpg

VLC Media Player should do the job just fine.

maybe camstudio if looking free stuff

I use Topaz Monent but I think Topaz labs may have discontinued it!

don't touch that ffmpeg shit - just like regular expressions, there are about 5 people in the whole world that know how to use it

ffmpeg = no good documentation and a lot of frustration

go with video charge

Ffmpeg is the way to go.
