I need to extract a frame from each one of a collection of several
thousand wmv files, but that's beside the point.
I've actually written a script that does exactly this using the pyglet
module. But while it works fine on my local machine running Python 2.5,
my host is only on 2.4.3. They've installed pyglet for me, but it won't
run without ctype, and they don't suport it.
Can anyone suggest an alternative way to achieve this using a module
that will run on a standard 2.4.3 installation?
Pretty sure pymedia can do this kind of thing, possibly
with a bit of work.

I used it recentlyish to do the reverse: combine a series
of still shots into a time-lapse movie.
Alternatively, you might be able to commandline control
mencoder or ffmpeg itself to do this. Not sure, but there
must be *something* among those millions of command-line
options!
