Videofilter "fps" to extract images each minute starts at 30 seconds offset

Version: git-master Keywords: fps

Description

Summary of the bug:

I wanted to extract an image at exactly every minute from a video, as described in the wiki article "Create a thumbnail image every X seconds of the video".

I expected to get images for positions 0s, 60s, 120s, etc.
But the result is: 0s, 30s, 90s, 150s, etc.

How to reproduce:
1) Generate a testvideo with time-information (seconds) in the image:

ffmpeg -t 300 -f lavfi -i testsrc -an -y -c:v ffv1 test.avi

2) Extract images using the "fps" video filter:

ffmpeg_git -i test.avi -vf fps=fps=1/60 -f image2 image%03d.jpg

Complete, uncut console output:

Look at the round option to fps. If down fixes your problem, please close this bug as “invalid”.

comment:2 by Peter B., 9 years ago

Will try that. Thank you very much :)

comment:3 by Peter B., 9 years ago

Using "-vf fps=fps=1/60:round=down" worked:
The images exported are now from the expected seconds: 0, 60, 120, 180, 240, etc.

Thanks :)
