I am extracting the individual frames out of videos using mplayer using this kind of thing: mplayer -ss 1 vid.mp4 -nosound -vo png I¹d like to get ahold of these images from inside a Java program (or c++) without opening the files and reading them in. Is there a way to extract the image files directly to a named pipe or redirect them to stdout so that I can get them as a stream in my code? (The slave mode of operation looks promising for this kind of thing) Thanks _______________________________________________ MPlayer-users mailing list MPlayer-users@xxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mplayerhq.hu/mailman/listinfo/mplayer-users
