I need some help with video embedding in ASP.NET. So I am developing a litle custom blog and I need users to upload Quick Time videos (.mp4,.3gp) but I also need when upload completes to take a snapshot from the uploaded video which should be used as a link
to a page that plays the video, in other words I need to take a frame from this video file... Do you have any idea how this is possible??
My video should play to onether page so I don't need any streaming service here. I just need to take a frame from the movie that user uploads and to create a snaphot for that movie (by storing a new image), when user clicks will redirect to a PlayMovie.aspx
page. But I can't find the appropriate API to do that, any suggestion for that?
My requirement is that I would like to make a thumbnail for a video on the fly. i.e. users will upload videos and the program should be able to make a thumbnail from them. And when they click on those thumbnail the video will play in a different page on
my website.
Now I have managed to make a thumbnail from a picture.
To make a thumbnail from a video I should be able to capture a frame form the vidoe as picture and then convert that picture a s athumbnail. So what I should be now looking for is a code which captures a frame from a video as picture.
AM I CORRECT?
OR IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY TO CREATE A THUMBNAIL FROM A VIDEO.
I am using a windows player and not a flash player like most of the site like youtube, myspace, etc are having. So basicaly I will be converting any video format to windows format. (infact I am looking for that free convertor too). i will be streaming
the vidoes on demand.
Please give your valuable suggestions considering the above situation. If possible can anyone give a complete code for the same.

p = Process.Start(info);
while (!p.HasExited) { Thread.Sleep(10); }
That use of ffmpef.exe will convert your video file (on my project was a .3gp) into .flv video. The "-ar 44100" is something that I do not remember (see the reference).
I check HasExited property to be sure that the program execution has finished.
Thanks for your help. I am working on it. But I am getting an error....I am using a .3gp file to capture a frame. I am getting an error invalid output format. Also when I run the program it does not show any output in the browser. I want to see the output
in the browser before I use the thumbnail part on that picture just to be sure I am on the right track. also I am not able to find where the picture is getting saved..
help required....

Well thre are some things to see on the previous example:
1) The "video_file_name_to_convert" parameter should be something like "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\videos\video_to_convert.3gp". Ofcourse
this file should exists, so maybe that causes your problem...!!!
2) The new_flv_name parameter should be something like "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\videos\converted_video.flv".
3) The
your_extracted_image_name parameter should something like "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\images\your_extracted_image_name" + "%d.jpg". The %d is an
integer that is automatically generated from ffmpeg program.
4)
The path c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\ is probably your root path of your web site to take that dynamically write something like Server.MapPath("~/videos/") or Server.MapPath("~/images/") for storing videos/images
respectively.

If youк page embeds and plays the video, then you are using streaming server
Usually, streaming servers come with corresponding SDK for manipulating videos
http://www.umediaserver.net/source.html
or google with keywords C# streaming media Server

Well my friend you are very lucky because I have to wait more than two weeks to find the answer.
Everything you need is that:
1) To extract image from video do:
Process p; ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo(); info.FileName = "ffmpeg.exe"; info.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden; info.Arguments = " -i " + your_video_name + " -vframes 1 " + your_extracted_image_name + "%d.jpg"; p = Process.Start(info); while (!p.HasExited) { Thread.Sleep(10); }1.-vframes 1 - will extract image from the first frame2.%d - is a ffmpeg.exe parameter which is usefull for autonumbering of image name (it is the it works)None

U can try using "DVD Decompiler"
It's free & I always use it for taking snap shots from vids & movies.
I once made another movie using the images taken by it :D as i took sequence of screen shots(it has an option which can do it ).
You Can download it here:- http://www.Soundindepth.com
