<div>HI ,</div> <div> For this you can write a Gstreamer applications where you have a basic pipeline which has filesrc , decodebin , encoder ( if you want to have encoded file as a thumbnail e.g. png or jpg ) and filesink . Now once you have this pipeline , seek to a particular position in video file so that you get a valid frame because very first frame can have invalid/ blank data. </div> <div> After seek run this pipeline for a single frame of data , and you can get a thumbnail. To resize your thumbnail you can use video resize plugins also. </div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 25, 2010 at 9:10 PM, Burka Victor <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:burka.victor@yandex.ru">burka.victor@yandex.ru</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote style="BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; PADDING-LEFT: 1ex" class="gmail_quote">Hello,<br><br>Can you help me with the following: I need to display a thumbnail image of my video file in the video player playlist that I'm developing.

I found in the Internet something called "preview" or "preview-image" tags that I can retrieve, but again I didn't find how in the API.<br> <br>Thanks,<br>Victor<br><br>------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>Download Intel&#174; Parallel Studio Eval<br>Try the new software tools for yourself.
