capturing video snapshots

wxPython Users

hi,

i am writing a program that is supposed to play a video and do some processing on the frames. Actually it is supposed to track motion. I have already been able to play the video using MediaCtrl but cant capture the frames/snapshots. Can MediaCtrl do this? If not, can someone please suggest a way of capturing snapshots?

My platform is Windows 2000, with Python 2.4 and wxPython 2.6.3.

This question came up the other day and somebody suggested using the ffmpeg library.
