Video output
Module: image | |

Type | Video output |
First VLC version | 0.8.2 |
Last VLC version | 0.9.10 |
Operating system(s) | all |
Description | Outputs the video images to files |
Shortcut(s) | - |
In VLC 1.0.0 the image video output was rewritten into a video-filter named scene, and the old image video output was removed.
Trivia: the help text was never changed after this commitdiff changed the default values of unsigned integers --image-out-width
and --image-out-height
from -1
to 0
—there was little point in fixing the help text for a deprecated module in software not yet publicly released! The coding error is absent from the current module, scene.
Option aliases --image-width
for --image-out-width
and --image-height
for --image-out-height
were deprecated in 0.9.0.
Options
- image-out-format <string> {png,jpeg} : Format of the output images default value: png
- image-out-width <integer> : You can enforce the image width. By default VLC will adapt to the video characteristics default value: 0
- image-out-height <integer> : You can enforce the image height. By default VLC will adapt to the video characteristics default value: 0
- image-out-ratio <integer> : Ratio of images to record. 3 means that one image out of three is recorded default value: 3
- image-out-prefix <string> : Prefix of the output images filenames. Output filenames will have the "prefixNUMBER.format" form. Starting with VLC 0.9.0 you can also use format time and meta variables default value: img
