[MPlayer-users] forward frame-stepping ...

[Albretch Mueller]

 I need to capture a movie frame by frame and I did find out that
mplayer can do that

 but not programmatically (a la
"MovieFramesObject.getNextImage(<ImageFormat>)")

 I am not sure if ffmpeg or mplayer should be used, but I am pretty
sure "I am not the only one" who has needed such a thing. Basically I
will need to probe the media file metadata and if it is a movie (not
an mp3/sound file with just one or a few pictures in it) I will need
them to process it

 Any ideas/tips you would share?
