Has anyone here written a program to pull still images out of an MPEG2
stream? I started looking at libmpeg2, but its... interesting.
I'm writing a program to talk to ReplayTV DVRs.

I'd like to be able to show a little still picture of a show when it's
chosen from the list. My plan is to download a few hundred KB or
megabyte of a show's MPEG2 file, grab the first available full frame
out of it, and use that as the "thumbnail." If you look at the
screenshot on the site above, you'll see a picture of a plasma tv.
That's where the thumbnail will go. So, grab MPEG, decode into still
image, convert to NSImage (I guess), display.
I could probably use quicktime for this, but I don't want to require
the MPEG2 plugin. So, I'm looking for pointers, and example code if
possible.
Thanks,
Michael
p.s. on another note, is there a CVS plugin for the Finder? Something
like TortoiseCVS?
