Hi, dear all,

Can any one tell me how can I using ffmpeg to extract the first frame from a video file as a jpeg file?

I recently downloaded ffmpeg 0.4.9, and compiled it under MSYS in a WinXP box. I have tried

ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -img jpeg image%05d.jpg

but ffmpeg crashed after extracted about 10 frames or so, I guess it may be caused by memory leaking. Any way, I only need the first frame or two.

Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

Best regards

Xiaogang
