  Compiling ffmpeg just to capture single frames

  Posted by Rodrigo Br on August 16, 2012 at 2:04 am

  Hi,

  For a personal personal project I’m thinking in use ffmpeg to capture, in fixed intervals, single frames from a webcam. As the computer has very few resorces, I was wondering if you guys could help me to compile ffmpef with just enough to do the job.

  Any help will be apreciated.

  Perhaps I am wrong, but if you are on Windows, download de last ffmpeg version from zeranoe, and try this on the command line:
  ffmpeg.exe -i “INPUT_FILE -y -f image2 -ss 20 -sameq -t 0.001 -s 126*95 “OUTPUT_NAME.jpg”
