Hello,
I want to programmatically export the poster frame in a .mov video file to
an image (JPEG, TIFF etc.). The video track in the MOV can use (say) H264
or MPEG4-video compression. Can someone please point me to the correct API
to use for *decoding* the poster frame to a common format so that the
image exporter can work on it?
According to my current (rather imperfect) understanding, the approximate
steps as seen from a C program are :
1 Get PicHandle for poster frame
- GetMoviePosterPict(myMovie)
2 Open an importer (how do I pick the subtype?)
- OpenDefaultComponent(MovieImportType, XXX);
3 Convert PicHandle to a usable format
[video codec decoding?]
4 Export image to a JPEG, PNG or TIFF
- GraphicsImportExportImageFile()
- GraphicsImportSetDataHandle()
If someone could sanity check the steps and fill in the critical #3, it
would be great.
Many thanks,
Siddharth
