Hello! I want to extract a png image from lots a videofiles. In 80% of the cases, -vo png does this successfully. The cmd in this case is mplayer video.avi -frames 1 -ss 1 -vo png But there are files with broken index or smth, and -vo png does not produce any output. Options -idx and -forceidx do not help. I solve this problem by reencoding the video with ffmpeg (it's quite little), but when I do this with mencoder, the video is reencoded, but there is still no out png file. The cmd in this case is e.g. mencoder video.3gp -ovc lavc -nosound -o video.avi . Tried also -idx, -forceidx, -of lavf, -ovc xvid and other. Nothing helps. If I choose -of lavf, I get the following errors: [mpeg4 @ 0xf8ce80]hmm, seems the headers are not complete, trying to guess time_increment_bits [mpeg4 @ 0xf8ce80]my guess is 1 bits ;) [mpeg4 @ 0xf8ce80]Error, header damaged or not MPEG4 header (qscale=0) [mpeg4 @ 0xf8ce80]header damaged Error while decoding frame! But the file is still playable. If I do this with ffmpeg (all the default options), it works flawlessly, and mplayer extracts the png image nicely. I want to be able to reencode the video with mencoder, not to build ffmpeg on the target servers. Thanks in advance, Igor Katson P.S. Mplayer and mencoder are 1.0rc2 _______________________________________________ MPlayer-users mailing list MPlayer-users@xxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mplayerhq.hu/mailman/listinfo/mplayer-users
