I found many .webm videos on the net and I want to know if it's possible to extract images from these.

Some videos I found have amazing images and I would like to set one of the frames as wallpaper.

I am using 12.04, thanks.

The following code works for me:

avconv -ss 30 -i my-cool-movie.webm -frames 1 -f image2 my-cool-picture.png

In this command,

-ss 30 specifies that you want to take the frame 30 seconds into the movie

-i my-cool-movie.webm specifies the name of the movie from which to take the frame

-frames 1 stops the program from extracting more than one frame

-f image2 my-cool-picture.png sets the output format to image and filename to my-cool-picture.png.
