Plz Help : How to use FrameGrabbingControl to extract frame from video.

I m trying to extract frame from the video (from .mpg file)using FrameGrabbingControl on the click of the button.There is no problem related to playing video.
import javax.media.control.*
public void actionperformed(ActionEvent ae)
String s = ae.getActionCommand();
if(s.equals("click") )
FrameGrabbingControl fgc = (FrameGrabbingControl) player.getcontrol("FrameGrabbingControl"); //it is returning null
Buffer bf = fgc.grabFrame(); // so here nullpointerException
}

hi I am also experiencing the same prob.can u send me the code if u got one..my mail id is [email protected].we are working on a proj to extract jpeg images from any movie file in jmf...can u help us

Help how do you save a still frame of video as a photo?

Help how do you save a still frame of video as a photo? Thanks

A still frame from an Event:
Put cursor at the frame you want, then right click (or command click) and select "Add Still Frame to Project".
The still frame will be added at the end of the Project.
A still frame from a Project:
Put cursor at the frame you want then right-click (or control-click) and select "Add Freeze Frame". The Freeze frame will be added after the clip.
In both cases:
Select the still frame (so the yellow band is around it).
Right-click (or control-click) and select "Reveal in Finder".
You will see a JPG file highlighted in the finder.
Drag this file and drop it on your iPhoto icon in the Dock.

This is how you extract frames from video

right then, in answer to many posts about how to get the individual frames from video, here is my solution. it seems to work with mpg files but it doesnt seem to work with any of the avi files i tried. not sure why it doesnt work with those. i have modified javas frame access.
nothing is displayed except it prints which frame it is doing.
if anyone wants to improve it, please do. i still dont understand fully how it works so i probably wont be able to answer many questions about it. anyway here it is:

The quality of the produced video from this example is very poor.
It comes to huuuuge surprise the following fact.
If you comment the line where you set the PostAccessCodec, the chain of the codecs is:
MPEG-1 decoder -> YUV2RGB -> Direct Draw Renderer. ( The one used from the system to decode and render)
If you run the example purely as is above you get the following sequence(as long with the poor quality):
MPEG-1 decoder -> YUV2RGB -> Windows GDI Renderer.
So you say lets set another Renderer. So
you add the following line videoTracker.setRenderer( new DDRenderer() )
What comes to a surprise is the following chain of codecs:
MPEG-1 decoder -> YUV2RGB -> Post Codec -> Java RGB Converter - > DDRenderer
The quality now may be perfect but video runs to slow. The surprising thing here is that even though we have set the outputFormat of the PostAccessFrame codec to RGBFormat the system converts it again to RGB through codec Java RGB Format.
After searching a lot and reaching the conclusion that the deference between the 2 RGB's is their sizes I sudently was brought in front of a method called grabFrame(). Bels started ringing inside my head. Starts were comming up. Looking at the definition of the class com.sun.media.renderer.video.DDRenderer I descovered that this damn class implements the FrameGrabbingControl Interface. What the f.....? The problem that consumed 4 days of my life and multiplied with 10 to give hours has finally come to an and.
Summing up the solution for grabbing frames is this!!!!!
DDRenderer renderer = new DDRenderer();
videoTrack.setRenderer( renderer );
and in your actionPerformed implementation
FrameGrabbingControl fr = (FrameGrabbingControl)renderer.getControl( "javax.media.control.FrameGrabbingControl");
Buffer frame = fr.grabFrame();
The following stuff ...are stated in FrameAccess

Extracting frames from video

Hi
Can anyone say me how to extract disismlar frames from a video
Thanks in advance
kokila

What is your definition of a scene ?
If a camera is not moving, you can probably do some vague matching of the background...... say if a certain percentage of pixels match up from one frame to the next.
But if the camera is moving, then every single frame will be different.
When you buy a commercial DVD, it is broken up into chapters / scenes.... but I assume that is a manual process performed by film editors.
Some DVD players have "auto-chapter", which just means that they create a chapter every X minutes regardless of the "scene".

Extracting frames from videos files

Hi!
I'm looking for a Object that can help me to extract video component such as I-Frame, P-frame.
As a matter of fact, I would like to modify the DCT of I-Frame of a MPEG4 video file.
Thanks

if your file hold byte[] data you can use the following code to get the byte[] data as RGB
public byte[][] getData(int frameNum) throws Exception {
FramePositioningControl fpc = getPositionControl();
FrameGrabbingControl      fgc = getGrabControl();
Buffer           buf;
RGBFormat     format;
int          width, height, pixelStride, lineStride, idx;
byte[][]     rgbData;
byte[]          data;
Object          dataObj;
// skip to the requested frame
fpc.seek(frameNum);
// get the data
buf = fgc.grabFrame();
// support RGB Format
format = (RGBFormat)buf.getFormat();
width = format.getSize().width;
height = format.getSize().height;
pixelStride = format.getPixelStride();
lineStride = format.getLineStride();
dataObj = buf.getData();
if (!(dataObj instanceof byte[]))
return null;
data = (byte[])dataObj;
// create the data;
rgbData = new byte[3][width*height];
idx = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < data.length; i += pixelStride) {
// bgr order
rgbData[2][idx] = data;
rgbData[1][idx] = data[i+1];
rgbData[0][idx] = data[i+2];
idx++;
if (format.getFlipped() == 1) {
rgbData[0] = flipImageTopBottom(rgbData[0], width, height);
rgbData[1] = flipImageTopBottom(rgbData[1], width, height);
rgbData[2] = flipImageTopBottom(rgbData[2], width, height);
return rgbData;

Extracting audio from video clip to use as narration?

Hi there,
I have a video clip in which I want to take the audio of actor speaking and put it onto another video.
I.e. he is speaking about walking in the park. I want to take him speaking about walking in the park and put it onto the clip where he is actually walking in the park.
How do I do this in premiere elements 10?

Hi Bill,
Thanks for the quick response. I guess my question now is how would I do those two things?
In terms of exporting the audio, where can I find that option when I'm on timeline?
What do you mean by "Alt-click" and what is a "muxed file"?
Thanks again,
Mallory

    Re: Extracting audio from video clip to use as narration?
    created by Bill Hunt in Premiere Elements - View the full discussion
Welcome to the forum. There are several ways to accomplish this, and your choice might well rest on how you like to work, and what you are doing, such as Deleteing Video. First, you could Export/Share just the Audio as a PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit, from your Timeline, and Import that into a New Project, where the Audio WAV file would be used. OTOH, you could Atl-click on the Video portion of the muxed file, and Delete the Video, leaving only the Audio portion. Good luck, Hunt

And How to use the DLLs which created from JNI in C++?

Huh?
Are you asking how to do JNI - you should read the tutorial.
Are you asking how to load it - then use System.loadLibrary()
Are you asking what to do with the output from javah - put it in a C file and write some code, compile it into a dll.

how can i stream audio to ipad from video playing on the apple tv using air play?

I don't know what AppleTV can handle as far as bit rate is concerned, but increase the bit rate as high as it will let you. You are taking DV which is 25Mb/s and compressing it. If you're making an H.264, you should get great results needing no more than 6Mb/s. Bear in mind, the higher the bit rate, the larger the file size.
