Creation of a .MAI file from a .jpeg file

 

 

1°) you need a jpeg file (thumbnail) 80x60:
You can create it using ffmeg and this command line:
ffmpeg.exe -y -i your_video_file -f image2 -ss number_of_the_frame -vframes 1 -s 80x60 -an name_of_jpeg_file
For example it extracts the frame "3" from "test.avi" and creates the file "test.jpg":
ffmpeg.exe -y -i test.avi -f image2 -ss 3 -vframes 1 -s 80x60 -an test.jpg

We are (I hope) amongst adults here, so if you tamper the values and put, let's say, foolish data (like an incorrect MP4 filename, those kind of things), don't be surprise if the mai file is not correct, ok ;)
