Extract Video frames in Android

Question

I wanted to know if it is possible to extract frames from a running Video in Android? I need to extract frames at regular intervals and send them for further processing.

Would someone be able to find an answer for me?

Thanks,

Abhi

You can use MediaMetadataRetriever:

I'm currently using it, by calling:

mediaMetadataRetriever.getFrameAtTime(timeUs,MediaMetadataRetriever.OPTION_CLOSEST);

I get the frame's bitmap.

Note that it's only supported since: API Level 10.
