I use a php script to do this. I am using the following command to convert the movies: exec( "cd $basedir; /usr/local/bin/mplayer -noautosub -vo jpeg -xy 100 -zoom -frames 1 $file", $return ); It seems to die if I don't use the -noautosub option. When I use -zoom to scale the image I lose a lot of the colors. Is there some way I can preserve my beautiful pictures? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
