Many digital cameras create .MTS files, but these are notoriously difficult to manage in Adobe Lightroom in OS X due to Quicktime's lack of support for the format. But with the right VLC command line and the right plug-in I believe I can make Lightroom read .MTS files. So, here's the question:
--> How does one use the VLC command line to create a JPG snapshot of the first frame of an .MTS video, name it with the prefix of the video, and save it in the same folder as the video?
Example: if 00001.MTS is the name of the video, the snapshot would be 00001.jpg, and would be saved in the same folder as the video.
--> In addition, how can one do this on a batch of videos in a folder?
Thank you so much in advance for your time and knowledge.
