Hi, I'm working on a photo / movie library thing:
http://slab.org/yami/ (sourcecode is here: http://slab.org/yami_source/ , mail privately for info) I'd like to support avi files nicely, namely by automatically generating a thumbnail image that represents the avi file. Simply showing a frame from the movie as a .png or .jpeg would do, although it might be fun playing with taking a few frames from the movie, and making an animated gif. A friend gave me some code that gets part of the way towards doing this, using avifile. However, my C++ skills are pretty rusty after x years just coding in Perl. I don't think I'm up to the job of making something work. So I'm wondering if anyone has done this already? Or have some code that does something similar that I could adapt. Or have any advice in general :) I'm basically just wanting a commandline tool that will save the 'nth' frame of a movie to an image file such as pnm. It would be nice to be able to express the frame number as a percentage, ie 0.5 to get the frame half way through the avi. But I would be happy adding that functionality myself. best, alex _______________________________________________ Avifile mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://prak.org/mailman/listinfo/avifile
