Capturing frames to jpegs...
Posted: 16 Mar 2010 22:23
Hello. I am trying to running VLC by command line 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-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.
Does anyone know how to get the subtitles to show in the captured image without hardcoding them?
And anyone know the difference between snapshot and video-filter=scene, specifically how to get the quality of snapshot in the later?
Thanks
Tom
