[Libav-user] Help to convert MP4 to JPEG using libav* dlls downloaded from FFMPEG 3.3.2 for windows

[venkatesh iyengar]

Hello,  From one week I am trying to convert MP4 to JPEG going thru different forums for examples, so far no success. Can you please share the link where you have seen it working successfully or you had it working on your projects using the libav shipped with FFMPEG 3.3.2 for windows shared/dev distribution. I am stuck right now and thumbnail extraction is important for of our project. I also tried the example that was part of the package, it generates pgm files, but I cannot convert it to any other viewable image formats. Please help.
