[vlc] Re: Frame by Frame

[Derk-Jan Hartman]

Well the problem is, that vlc doesn't decode frames, but packets. This  
is because originally VLC was designed for usage of streams over the  
network.
This fundamental design difference between us and other players makes  
the implementation of a frame by frame option, a tad difficult as I  
understand. What you can do however is use the slower command (multiple  
times) to play the video really slow, and then pausing the video at the  
shot you want to take a screenshot of (which is the most common reason  
for frame by frame).
