[FFmpeg-user] Record N RTSP frames and average into 1 jpg? In a loop?

The stills have the banding, which is why I thought I’d try average frames from video to get rid of it. Averaging will definitely work; I’m just trying to figure out the optimal value for N.

Whoops! I see now that I swapped the image links in my OP. Here’s the banding from one frame:

Here’s the result of averaging 500 frames:

The banding is mostly gone, but still detectable. That’s why I want to run a loop from, say, 400 - 500 and see which value gives me the least amount of detectable banding.
