  • Take a look at this question asked on Stack Overflow. The accepted answer provides a work-around using ImageMagick, because FFmpeg is not able to do this by itself.

  • @NickvanTilborg I think that the question is asking for timestamps taken from within the video (PTS, Presentation Time Stamp) - so a frame taken from 1 minute 30 seconds into the video would have a filename like 00_01_30.jpg - rather than the timestamp for the system time at which the file was created.

  • Ah right, but then a simple rename script should do the trick. @MinSun, can you please confirm what you want?

  • I have the same question, specifically what I believe he's asking (as I am) is for the timestamp from the video, i.e. a frame taken 20 seconds into the video would have a filename with: image-00_20_00.jpg Commented May 16, 2014 at 4:59
