Convert kaffiene .m2t or any other video file into images

A quick "how to" convert kaffeine dvb-t recordings which are stored with the file extensions .m2t or any other video file eg; mpg,avi etc into .png files,

First things first create a new folder where you want the images to be stored and remember there can be a lot of images depending on the size of the video.

To convert to small pictures which are 768 x 576 pixels (1.3 mb) simply open up the terminal cd to the new folder you'v just created and enter,

$ mplayer /Path/To/Your/File.m2t -aspect 16:9 -mc 0 -fps 30000/1001 -delay -0.222 -ao null -vf pullup,softskip,scale=768:576 -vo png

changing where iv wrote /Path/To/Your/File.m2t to your actual path and watch as your file converts into images.

To make the images bigger in size change scale=768:576 to scale=1440:1080 to make the images bigger in size 1440 x 1080 pixels (4 mb) make sure you have plenty of space on you hard drive if its a large file

example:

$ mplayer /Path/To/Your/File.m2t -aspect 16:9 -mc 0 -fps 30000/1001 -delay -0.222 -ao null -vf pullup,softskip,scale=1440:1080 -vo png
