trying to store jpeg frames out of a mjpeg avi

Hi,

i am looking for a way to generate an image sequence from a motion jpeg avi without transcoding the actual frame but simply storing it with the correct header to make it a jpeg image.

as i understand this should be possible with motion jpeg, since it is an i-frame only jpeg format and actually the avi simply contains a series of jpegs.

i was hoping to find a solution with avisynth but i couldn't.

is there any or does anybody have a better idea?

regards,

Avisynth won't help, since it uses the same decoders as any other app.

According to this page, MJPEG Tools can do it.

thx for the reply, richard.
as far as i can see the mentioned page doesn't really say that the images are not transcoded. how did you come to that conclusion?

Try VirtualDub DirectStreamCopy mode with save as BMP, this should create BMP wrapped MJPEG frames.

i found a very easy way:
each .jpg-file starts with $FFD8 and the last two bytes are $FFD9. So you just need a little tool that extracts all the files. Maybe i can code it the next days.

try this first alpha release: mjpeg2jpg.zip

Its a command line tool. Use it this way:

mjpeg2jpg filename.avi

the fileextension is not important. The output dir is always "c:\". I will make that more user friendly in the future.

i only testes a very small file It was a very quick and dirty hack, so i think it can be optimized a lot How slow is it? Can you give some numbers (kb/sec)?

hanfrunz

EDIT:
here's a new version. It reads 1MB blocks instead of single bytes from the source file. Should be a lot faster now.

EDIT2: i found some strange bugs... please use version 1 until i fixed them

EDIT3: okay here is version 0.3 it's fast and has no memory-bugs.
