Hi, I'm still trying to extract frames accurately from DVD using dvd2concat to produce a concat text file and seek option before the input, so extraction is fast.
I realized that my previous tests were done with an old version of FFmpeg. That was a mistake. I redone my tests with version 2.8 and also with latest snapshot (N-75786-g6f1ccca). The results are identical. When using seek before the input, the frames are not extracted accurately. Now I'm not sure if I'm getting only keyframes because, if I seek and extract every successive frames I can have something like this: frame 1 frame 2 (same as frame 1) frame 3 (same as frame 1) frame 4 (same as frame 1) frame 5 (same as frame 1) frame 6 (new frame) frame 7 (new frame) frame 8 (new frame) frame 9 (same as frame 8) frame 10 (same as frame 8) frame 11 (new frame) etc. But I definitely don't get every frames. Typical output: ffmpeg -accurate_seek -f concat -safe 0 -ss 00:02:31.367 -i dvd_concat.txt -y -an -f image2 -vframes 1 -q:v 4 frame6.jpg ffmpeg version N-75786-g6f1ccca Copyright (c) 2000-2015 the FFmpeg developers built with gcc 4.4.3 (Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5.1) configuration: --enable-gpl --enable-libass --enable-libfdk-aac --enable-libfreetype --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopus --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libx264 --enable-nonfree libavutil 55. 2.100 / 55. 2.100 libavcodec 57. 4.100 / 57. 4.100 libavformat 57. 3.100 / 57. 3.100 libavdevice 57. 0.100 / 57. 0.100 libavfilter 6. 10.100 / 6. 10.100 libswscale 4. 0.100 / 4. 0.100 libswresample 2. 0.100 / 2. 0.100 libpostproc 54. 0.100 / 54. 0.100 Input #0, concat, from 'dvd_concat.txt': Duration: 00:38:16.50, start: 0.225367, bitrate: 0 kb/s Stream #0:0: Video: mpeg2video (Main), yuv420p(tv, smpte170m), 704x480 [SAR 10:11 DAR 4:3], Closed Captions, max. 9558 kb/s, 29.97 fps, 29.97 tbr, 90k tbn, 59.94 tbc Stream #0:1: Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 256 kb/s [swscaler @ 0x23e9e20] deprecated pixel format used, make sure you did set range correctly Output #0, image2, to 'frame6.jpg': Metadata: encoder : Lavf57.3.100 Stream #0:0: Video: mjpeg, yuvj420p(pc), 704x480 [SAR 10:11 DAR 4:3], q=2-31, 200 kb/s, 29.97 fps, 29.97 tbn, 29.97 tbc Metadata: encoder : Lavc57.4.100 mjpeg Stream mapping: Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (mpeg2video (native) -> mjpeg (native)) Press [q] to stop, [?] for help frame= 1 fps=0.0 q=4.0 Lsize=N/A time=00:00:00.03 bitrate=N/A dup=1 drop=1 video:19kB audio:0kB subtitle:0kB other streams:0kB global headers:0kB muxing overhead: unknown I would like to know if this feature is just not implemented, or if it's a bug or if I'm doing something wrong. I will have to extract frames accurately from at least hundreds of DVD and if I can figure out a way to extract them fast, like 1 sec. instead of many, many minutes, it will be a big plus for us.
