How to extract images of a video file on Android?

Question

A short question:

Suppose you have a video file that is supported on the device (available here, for example).

How would you get an image (or a number of images) of a specific time of the video, to be saved into a Bitmap instance?

Is it also possible to set what size the bitmap would be (so that it won't take a lot of memory, in case the video is of high resolution) ?

Bitmap bitmap =ThumbnailUtils.createVideoThumbnail(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/video.mp4",MediaStore.Video.Thumbnails.MINI_KIND);

This does not get a bitmap of a given time of the video, as I've written: "... of a specific time". All images that I'll take this way will be the same. – android developer Sep 29 '14 at 14:15

so this is the correct one: MediaMetadataRetriever ? or should I use FFMPEG ? – android developer Sep 30 '14 at 07:12
