CMD line screen capture

[rakhoi]

Hi,

Is it possible to run VLC player so that it opens multiple videos from folder and takes one screen shot from each?
I have sucseeded to run multiple videos but VLC names every screen shot with same name and because of that at the end there are only one picture in the folder.
How to give spesific name for each screen shot?

If you use scene video filter, then

Code: Select all

--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)

if you use manual snapshotting, then

Code: Select all

--snapshot-path=<string> Video snapshot directory (or filename) Directory where the video snapshots will be stored. --snapshot-prefix=<string> Video snapshot file prefix Video snapshot file prefix

I have a similar problem.

I've run this command:
VLC --video-filter scene -V dummy

I've selected multiple videos, VLC saves the first set of screenshots fine but when it starts the 2nd video it goes back and overwrites the original captures as the names are the same.

Is there a way of changing screen shot prefix names per video file or something so that it doesn't overwrite an existing file?

Where are your screenshots saving? Nothing is in my AppData, the folder with the videos...

How are you all getting this to work without banging your head on the desk?!

I would like to play any file, screenshots at any interval, and saved to my harddrive...anywhere, all from the command line. How hard could it be?

Don't multipost, it won't help.
