Convert webm to jpg or png

  • 772

I found many .webm videos on the net and I want to know if it's possible to extract images from these.

Some videos I found have amazing images and I would like to set one of the frames as wallpaper.

I am using 12.04, thanks.

    The following code works for me:

    avconv -ss 30 -i my-cool-movie.webm -frames 1 -f image2 my-cool-picture.png

    In this command,

    -ss 30 specifies that you want to take the frame 30 seconds into the movie

    -i my-cool-movie.webm specifies the name of the movie from which to take the frame

    -frames 1 stops the program from extracting more than one frame

    -f image2 my-cool-picture.png sets the output format to image and filename to my-cool-picture.png.

  2. There is no reason to make it that complicated, you can simple use webm to png online converter. I am using it for some time now, even for my business projects.
