Command line screenshots of video with subtitles file

[ommmot]

Hello. I am trying to running VLC by command line using terminal to capture multiple screenshots of a movie and subtitles file. I want the same jpeg file you can get by manually pressing option-command-s expect every 6 frames etc.

I've tried using the command line

/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC /Users/tom/Desktop/FG/FG.avi --sub-file=/Users/tom/Desktop/FG/FG.srt --video-filter=scene --image-out-format=jpeg --image-out-ratio=6 --image-out-prefix=FG

But get an error message: --image-out-format=jpeg. I know that --vout changed to --video-filter-scene in 1.0.2, does anyone know if the other options have changed too?

Or have I just messed something up in the command line?

Thanks in advance

Tom

I've got it almost working with the command line

/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC /Users/tom/Desktop/FG/FG.avi --sub-autodetect-fuzzy=4 --video-filter=scene --scene-width=-1 --scene-height=-1 --scene-format=jpg --scene-ratio=11.99 --scene-prefix=FG --scene-path=/Users/tom/Desktop/FG

Although it's not showing the subtitles in the images. Also the option-command-s gives a much better image quality and includes the subtitles.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Tom

I haven't done this myself, so I can't really help.

Assuming all things are equal, at least at this level, you could see in the general troubleshooting forum to see if anyone has an answer. Please share any solution you have in this thread, just for future reference - thanks
