Re: Command line Quicktime and/or PHP

You can do this with the C API or the QuickTime for Java API as long as you deploy the tool on a Macintosh or Windows server. Used a QT for Java class to extract image thumbnails from movies as part of a WebObjects application a while back but gave up as it was difficult to achieve a satisfactory, relevant frame to represent the movie.

The quickest way to do this, unless it already exists, looks to be to write a small Cocoa application and use QTKit to get the frame or better still get the poster frame. This would need deployment on a Macintosh Tiger server.

Hi, I'm fairly new to the Quicktime and it's API, and was wondering if it's possible to control quicktime from the command line?
Specifically, I'd like to be able to go to a certain frame of a movie and export it as a JPG with a certain name.

It's a actually for a web interface but I don't believe it's possible to do any of that via PHP, but I could execute a command line procedure in the same way I control QTSS.
Any thoughts or pointers would really be appreciated.
