ffmpeg截取jpg图,如何使用ffmpeg从视频文件中提取图像

I need to get one image out of an video to use as a thumbnail

So I am trying this:

ffmpeg -ss 00:05:34.05 -i input.avi -vframes 1 -sameq output.jpg

This works just fine however every once in a while I come across a file where this fails with the following error message

av_interleaved_write_frame(): I/O error occurred

Usually that means that input file is truncated and/or corrupted.

What are my options if any ?

Thanks

Try this command

ffmpeg -ss 5 -i sample.mp4 -vframes 1 -s 320x240 -f image2 -y sample.jpg;

always set -ss before -i in order to optimize performance while grabbing thumbs from long length videos.
