I have a multimedia application that includes a lot of videos. I use FFMPEG to create thumbnails from videos with a specific length of time. Now the problem is that my console application, which is used to extract images from a video, consumes a lot of memory when it starts.
I have doubts as to whether FFMPEG actually plays the entire video file when retrieving the thumbnail. Is it possible?
The following is the parameter passed to FFMPEG,
-i [input video file] -an -r 0.05 -y -ss 00:00:18 -vframes 1 [output thumbnail file path]
I tried to search, but to no avail. Please provide your valuable thoughts.
Thank.
