particleMan Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I'm looking for a utility that can take an AVI file (or any movie file format for that matter) and convert it into a series of individual frames. Preferably the utility is FREE and preferably on Linux, but a free Window$ utility is acceptable. Anyone know? Thanks! Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to go the other way, create an image sequence from an avi file. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I run % mplayer -vo help It lists video output drivers of pbg and jpeg as well as gif89a (which says that it will create an animated GIF file). It appears that it's as simple as running % mplayer -vo jpeg foo.avi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
