How can I extract images from a video? [closed]

You can do that with ffmpeg or avconv.

To extract a single image:

ffmpeg -i input.flv -ss 00:00:14.435 -f image2 -vframes 1 out.png
avconv -i input.flv -ss 00:00:14.435 -f image2 -vframes 1 out.png

This will extract one frame (-vframes 1) from the position 0h:0m:14sec:435msec into the movie.

You can install vlc and go to File > Create snapshot. It will create a snapshot of the current image in VLC.
