General Software Discussion / Re: batch create image contact sheet from videofiles?

« on: February 25, 2007, 01:13 PM »

Not sure about batch capabilities.

Best program I found for the job was Image Grabber II.NET
Not been able to get onto the official website for a while, google gives a few pages with download links like this

There are some older versions of the program but they are not as good.

Options






Main Screen (thumbnail)


Final Output Sample (thumbnail)



There is also ImageGrab but I never had much success with that.

Hope that helps.

Might or might not help, VirtualDub has its own internal Motion JPEG routines.

From the Open video file dialog, check the box near the bottom which says Ask for extended options after this dialog.
After you have clicked Open another dialog should come up, Import options: AVI import filter.
About half way down this under Decoder options, there is Use internal decoders for Motion JPEG and DV.

Also try running a sample video file through the various codec information tools
http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/

If it does not identify the video codec then at least it might give some information about the audio content.

Hope that helps a little.

Don't remember 'picture box' program.

Survival rings a bell, found this page might be of help.
