EDIT: j-b got here first
- anyway, see below for usage.
AFAIK the image output is now a video filter called scene. For example
Code: Select all
vlc --video-filter scene --scene-path test --scene-prefix out INPUT
Where test is the output directory, out is the file prefix and INPUT is the input.
From the help:
Code: Select all
Scene video filter
--scene-format <string> Image format
Format of the output images (png, jpeg, ...).
--scene-width <integer> Image width
You can enforce the image width. By default (-1) VLC will adapt to
the video characteristics.
--scene-height <integer> Image height
You can enforce the image height. By default (-1) VLC will adapt to
the video characteristics.
--scene-prefix <string> Filename prefix
Prefix of the output images filenames. Output filenames will have the
"prefixNUMBER.format" form if replace is not true.
--scene-path <string> Directory path prefix
Directory path where images files should be saved.If not set, then
images will be automatically saved in users homedir.
--scene-replace, --no-scene-replace
Always write to the same file (default
disabled)
Always write to the same file instead of creating one file per image.
In this case, the number is not appended to the filename. (default
disabled)
--scene-ratio <integer> Recording ratio
Ratio of images to record. 3 means that one image out of three is
recorded.
The --scene-prefix doesn't seem to like handling full locations though (e.g. /home/user/test/out) - if you are in ~ (i.e. the home directory) then "test/out" should work however. Probably a bug.
EDIT2: Actually the --scene-prefix thing is not a bug (example above amended) - use --scene-path for the output directory and --scene-prefix for the file prefix. Finally, to hide the vout use e.g.:
END OF EDIT2.
