You can further specify how many frames to extract per second. You can run the following command to extract every frame in the video.

Add the bin folder to Windows Environment Path Variable to run this tool without having to specify the full path every time.įor more details, check out the previous Medium article I had written - FFmpeg - Your powerful video/audio helper in your application.

Download FFmpeg release essentials here.

For Windows, it’s a bit trickier, you will have to download FFmpeg build and set it up manually. Int ret = avcodec_parameters_from_context(fmtc->streams->codecpar, encCtx) įILE * outPng = fopen('./sample.First, download or install the FFmpeg packages.įor MacOS, simply do brew install ffmpeg and for Ubuntu, use sudo apt install ffmpeg.

Int fps = fmtc->streams->r_frame_rate.num / fmtc->streams->r_frame_n ĮncCtx->time_base = (AVRational) ĮncCtx->max_b_frames = decCtx->max_b_frames I do encoding via: encCodec = avcodec_find_encoder(AV_CODEC_ID_PNG) ĮncCtx = avcodec_alloc_context3(encCodec) It looks like I have correct converted frame, but now encoder return me a packet with size 86, so my image is actually blank or near it. Sws_scale(ctx, frame->data, frame->linesize, 0,ĭecCtx->height, resFrame->data, resFrame->linesize) SwsContext * ctx = sws_getContext(decCtx->width, ResFrame->data = (uint8_t*)malloc(resFrame->linesize * destH) I tried to save it as AV_PIX_FMT_YUV420P, but I got 3 pictures in one, so I need to convert it to RGB24 first.

I have AV_PIX_FMT_YUV420P AVFrame, and I want to write it as PNG or JPEG file, it doesn't matter what format is inside (BGR, BGRA, RGB or RGBA).
