Video Capture (Python,Cv2)

PythonVideoCaptureJPGs.py

# This is VERY INEFFICIENT - at the moment for 10min video it produces 10*60*25=15000 images
# The framerate calculation is WRONG: it's NOT taking screenshots every 10 frames, but it's taking every frame!
# In fact, it's faster and more efficient if we just re-watch the video in VLC and use Alt-V-S shortcut to take screenshots when needed

import cv2
vidcap = cv2.VideoCapture('temp.mp4')
framerate = vidcap.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FPS)

success,image = vidcap.read()
count = 0
while success:
  if count % (framerate * 10) ==0:
    cv2.imwrite("frame%d.jpg" % count, image)     # save frame as JPEG file
    success,image = vidcap.read()
    print('Read a new frame: ', success)
  count += 1
