Thanks for answering.
This would not be the case so much since another program(sniffer) can be working along side gromacs examining each snapshot(Max 400 residues == atoms. I'm only interested in the C-alpha) and then if all criteria are met to extract/or save the coor and if not to erase the snapshot. The aim here is to do an MD from which an ensemble of the C-alpha will be created.

Thanks again

Thanks allot, but isn't trjconv should be executed after the trajectory has finished ?. I would like to put each snapshot in a different file on the fly.

As Justin said, you can't do that. For starters, it consumes vast amounts of disk. Also, it doesn't take long to do it after the fact on some workstation, and it is wasteful to spend your (limited) main compute resources doing I/O while post-processing output.

GROMACS workflows are intended to run the simulation fast and efficiently, and then allow you to process the results with the various tools/filters to extract the data you need. You can even post-process with mdrun -rerun if you want to get only a subset of forces or something. The main exception to this principle is the use of xtc-groups, IIRC.

Why do you even want separate PDB frames? Visualization tools like VMD will read the trajectory files.
