Extract All Frames of a Video as Jpeg Images

You need to extract all frames of a video and save them as .jpg images files ? Transcode can do the job for you thanks to this command line:

transcode -i video.avi -y im

Of course with some parameters tweaking you will be able to save images in any format.

Do this on little video only, else the number of generated files will be so huge that all your hard drive space will be eaten in a couple of minutes. Be carefull !

You installed Amarok from my RPMs and can’t play some files ? Here is the fix…

My two previous RPMs packages of Amarok (1.4.1 and 1.4.2beta1) for Mandriva 2006 were not able to play some files because of their file format. In a previous comment, Promeneur tell us that my 1.4.1 package was not able to play Mpeg2 files.

I myself experienced a similar problem: both 1.4.1 and 1.4.2beta1 were not able to play any of my Flac files. Apart the “There is no audio channel!” error message, I had no other information to help me track the bug.

Then I remembered that I was using PFL RPMs beside official Mandriva ones. So I updated plf-non-free and plf-free repositories. So I installed all packages whose name followed the “xine-something-1.1.1” pattern. Just after that Amarok was playing Flac files as expected !

Amarok 1.4.2-beta1 for Mandriva 2006

The first beta of amarok 1.4.2 was out for about 2 weeks and today I backported it to Mandriva 2006. This new version is the first to include the Advanced Tag Features (ATF) system which is perfect for people with big and constantly evolving music collection.

Here are the RPMs, and here the explanation to use them.

If you have some issue with this release, take a look at comments of previous versions and my “You installed Amarok from my RPMs and can’t play some files ? Here is the fix…” post.
