So you have a mkv file of lets say 100 frames and you like to have
frames 5, 36 and 82 saved to individual jpegs?
Some ideas:
- you can write an application that does:
- filesrc location="file.mkv" ! mkvdemux ! appsink
- save the wanted buffers to separate files from the appsink callback
- or
- filesrc location="file.mkv" ! mkvdemux ! multifilesink
- have a buffer probe on the video src-pad of mkv and drop all not
wanted frames
- or
...
