201.8capture one frame *from command line* ?NETRIX::"[email protected]"Jeff DickensFri Feb 07 1997 14:375
Do you have a utility that will capture one frame from the 
command line ?

The latest alphavcr will do it, but not from the command line.

Hmmm, how did non-Digital employees get in here?  I don't
suppose you'd like to trade a couple of AltaVista licenses
(say for AltaVista Thrash My Computer Very Private Extended
Product Name) for the answer to your question?

I know that programs like this have been written, but I
can't seem to locate any of them.  Unless someone else
chimes in, you might try asking the j300 mailing list.

201.10Try this - graboneADOV01::JARMANThu Feb 13 1997 21:0116
    In the spirit of creative reuse of objects, I'll donate something I
    found that somebody else wrote - it's a little prog called grabone
    which does exactly that - it grabs a single frame into a .pnm file (I
    think)
    
    I've used it several times to stuff camera images into web pages
    
    With thanks to those that actualy wrote it
    
    download the file from URL
    
    http://demo4.ado.dec.com/grab.tar.Z
    
    regards
    Brian (what, me actually contribute for a change??)
    
201.11More infoADOV01::JARMANThu Feb 13 1997 21:035
    Forgot to add - the makefile in the tar file looks ugly - it has lots
    of other stuff in that I was too lazy to take out - it was part of a
    kit of bits and pieces that were put together, I've just pulled out the
    bit for grabbing images

201.12got it, thanksNETRIX::"[email protected]"Jeff DickensMon Feb 17 1997 12:1213
Thanks Brian, I'll give it a shot.  Of course, the application I had
in mind is exactly what you said, a web-cam.

Tom, we're still Digital employees at the moment, but we do have our
own network now.  How did we get into Easynet ?  The AltaVista Internet
Tunnel, of course.

I believe there is an agreement whereby Digital gets free use of AltaVista
Software (and we get free use of Digital software!).  If you can't 
find out how to get the licenses drop me a line and I'll ask.

201.13worked like a charmNETRIX::"[email protected]"Jeff DickensTue Feb 18 1997 09:538
My enormously complex :-) cgi program to use it follows:

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: image/jpeg\n\n";
print `/usr/local/bin/grabone | /usr/local/bin/cjpeg -quality 70`;
