[FFmpeg-user] ffmpeg -i reports a video of length 03:17.53, but splitting into frames at 2 fps only results in one frame

In my previous comment, the change of framerate is done during the 
transcoding to raw yuv which could be problematic with your  mpeg 
stream. An alternative could be to convert all frames  to YUV and then 
drop some of them during the second transcoding.  Of course, the 
intermediate raw file will be significantly larger so you may want to 
use a pipe.

For example, the following command should keep 1 out of 25 frames:

ffmpeg -i video.mpg  -s 640x480 -f rawvideo -c:v rawvideo -pix_fmt 
yuv420p pipe: | ffmpeg -f rawvideo -framerate 25 -s 640x480 
-pixel_format yuv420p -i pipe: -r 1 output/frame%06d.jpg
