Android get specific frames from video/while filming video

Question

My app is filming a video from which i need to get specific frames. Is it possible to save specific frames while taking the video or even after saving the video? how?

EDIT: Another option is to take several pictures in a row with no video(moving the camera and taking a picture every second) is this possible?

I've been working on this for a couple months. There doesn't seem to be any support for Frame by Frame seeking. You can only get the keyframes. VideoView.seekTo(int) is how you do it — Spidy, Oct 31 '11 at 20:53

The MediaMetadataRetriever class has a function called getFrameAtTime(). I think this works only after saving the file. You will only get key frames.

MediaMetadataRetriever is only available from version 10 :-( – Jonathon Horsman Nov 03 '11 at 11:16
