if anyone is interested in knowing how to do this, use a binary called mplayer
/usr/local/etc/mplayer/bin/mplayer -vo jpeg -ss 00:00:05 -frame s 1 test.mpg it will export a jpeg still of the frame, u then can use either imagemagick or gd to resize and optimise for a video sample , excellent for creating video databases , simply upload the video grab the frame and add to the database ;) -----Original Message----- From: Dan Rossi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 08, 2003 1:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] screenshot of an mpeg frame hi there i was wondering if its ever possible to get a screenshot of an mpeg frame giving it a position and maybe optmisize it with de-interlacing to a jpeg using gd ? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
