Scene detection

[Brenn H]

I am working on a video archival project where we need to do some  
scene detection.  Specifically, we want a jpg file of the first frame  
of each new scene, for use as a storyboard.  I know ffmpeg has some  
internal scene detection code.

how can I get ffmpeg to give me those frames?

I would also take segmenting the video whenever a new scene occurs.

Thank you so much!

You could look at motion and see how they do the scene/motion detection.

Not much help, I know.

This is turning to be a new FAQ entry.

Check this thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/430096.20005.qm@...

The Clean And General Solution (TM) would be to create a libavfilter
filter (the libavfilter introduction in FFmpeg SVN is being discussed
in these days on ffmpeg-devel).

Regards.

One minute of pure noise with ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -ar 48000 -t 60 -f s16le -acodec pcm_s16le -i /dev/urandom  \
    -ab 64K -f mp2 -acodec mp2 -y noise.mp2
