Image Grabber II

[SacredCultivator]

Dear Readers,

I have had this problem for a long time now but couldn't seem to google a match to answer my problem.

I do a lot of Encoding both XviD and H264 and I can take SS's without a problem.. But when I have someone else do a H264 encode and I try to take ScreenShot's with Image Grabber II, I get the following error:

'The media type of this file is not recognized'

^This applies only to H264 encodes that I did not encode myself.

-And for some reason my Media Player Classic can't take screenshots at all (I use the one that is bundled up with K-Lite Mega Codec)

^This applies to both H264 + XviD

So i am not too sure what the problem is there...

A surefire solution (albeit a bit clumsy)

1) Make an AviSynth script with:

directshowsource("c:\movie.avi")


2) Open this script in VirtualDub, and seek to your desired frame

3) set in and out points

4) file -> export -> image sequence. I suggest PNG.

I use ffdshow, which can be set easily to "grab" a single frame or all of them during playback.

Hmmm... I can do it for .avi's it is the .mp4's that are giving me the problem...
