First, I'm fairly new to see sharp so I'm looking for a thorough and easy to understand answer.

How do I make a C# win form program that breaks a video down to frames, then puts those frames back together to make a video?
I also want to be able to select which frames to extract by setting an interval time. For example, extract frames that are one second apart.
Is this possible, I have done some research but I don't understand how to use the codes displayed on the following websites.

Supposedly code to breakdown video into frames. However I do not know where to put it. Do I make it the event for a button or something.

Code for making a video from images, it looked promising so i tried to copy and paste it visual studio. However the line using BytescoutImageToVideoLib; has an error asking me whether I am missing a reference. What reference am I missing?

I also noticed that there was a page on code project for something similar to this, but the downloadable demo project didn't work at all. I didnt see the point in spending time on something where the end product is broken.
Extract Frames from Video Files[^]

Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you can't understand the code presented we are unlikely to be able to help you much in a Quick Answers Forum!

However - your first link - you can put the code wherever you like. A button click event would be appropriate, amongst other options.

The missing reference on your 2nd link is likely to be the byteScout Image to Video library.

Finally, on the third link to the CodeProject article - normally I would suggest using the comments forum at the bottom of that article, but the author does not seem to be responding to comments. However, I do

- it's a good way to learn and happens to be a scenario that most developers face on a regular basis.
