[dundee] FFMPEG problem creating JPEG thumbs...

[Lee Hughes]

you may have to recompile ffmpeg from source and tell it to link with imagemagick libs

what distro are you using..


this definitely works for me

ffmpeg -i Zeitgeist.\(2007\).\[DVDRip\]-XviD-MP3.avi %03d.jpg

and ffmpeg -version

Any further wisdom? 

Thanks :)

this might help. 

you need to compile with imagemagick libs I think....

imagemagick does all sorts of cool shit.

and you can quote me on that.

Laters,

  Hi everyone, happy new year :)

I could do with some help. I'm trying to create a batch processing script to make thumbnails of videos. I want the thumbnails in JPEG format but there's this problem. 

christopher at Madeline [~]$ ffmpeg -i hdmothers.mov -an -ss 3 -vframes 1 -s 150x100 ./testout.jpg

The only thing I'm able to create output in is GIF which is far too low a bit thingymajig to be of any use...  Can someone help me get JPEG support working with this?

Thanks
  Chris
