[MPlayer-users] Cannot Screeenshot certain videos

[Wesley De La Harpe]

Hello,

i am calling mplayer from the comand line to generate a screenshot.

"mplayer 1.wmv -ss 00:00:05 -nosound -vo jpeg -frames 1"

this line of code works for most video files, but has a problem with quite a
few. MPUI appears to play it fine, mplayer itself also can play it if i use
the code: "mplayer 1.wmv".

i probably do not have the right parameters which will work for all the
files mplayer can support.

This is the output when i try execute the command:

"C:\mplayer>mplayer 1.wmv -ss 00:00:05 -nosound -vo jpeg -frames 1
