As newbie I don't have the knowledge to extract/capture a frame from an avi file on a DVD and save it as a jpg file on the Hard Drive (the avi doesn't need to be played).

I have been looking on the net for the last 3 days, following-up various information (DirectShow, ffmpeg, DrawToBitmap, MemoryStream... ), but nothing seems to show what I need.

Is there a simple piece of code that will extract a frame from an avi file?

Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I guess I have seen an article for that here at CP. You should try searching the articles.

you'll probably have to do it in a couple of steps. First, you'll have to rip the dvd to an avi or some other video format. Then, you'll have to extract the frames.

If I were going to do it, I would start with vStrip[^]. It's a command-line DVD ripping program, so you can interact with it programmatically. Then, I would look at this article: Extract Frames from Video Files[^]
