(Next time you post, please fix the "privacy alert" in the subject line; 
that doesn't belong.)

Actually, you have a 29.97fps (or 30000/1001) file (aka "drop-frame" rate).

Assuming the duration listed is correct (00:08:51.54 = 531.45 sec), in 
source frames that would be about 15930 source frames with that half-second 
included. That half second might get you an extra output frame.


Referring to some official doc (which really wasn't hard to find)
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Create%20a%20thumbnail%20image%20every%20X%20seconds%20of%20the%20video

use the fps video filter

ffmpeg -i NTSC_Test.mov -vf fps=1 x\%04d.jpg

Using a frame-count marked 2-second (00:00:02.0) file I get frames 0.14 and 
1.14 (in the middle of each second). If you need to get the first frame of 
each second, you may need to experiment with the 'select' filter.


Examples from using -r (for anyone searching the archive)
ffmpeg -i NTSC_Test.mov  -r 1 x\%04d.jpg
gives frames 000, 0.01, 0.26, and 1.26

ffmpeg -i NTSC_Test.mov -ss 00:00:00.1 -r 1 x\%04d.jpg
gives frames 0.03, 0.04, 0.29, and 1.29

Later,
