How can I get a frame sample (jpeg) from a video (mov)

Question

I want to get a frame sample (jpeg) from a video file (mov) with java. Is there an easy way to do this. When I search in google all I can find is to make mov from multiple j

Here's how with BoofCV:

String fileName = UtilIO.pathExample("tracking/chipmunk.mjpeg");

MediaManager media = DefaultMediaManager.INSTANCE;

ConfigBackgroundBasic configBasic = new ConfigBackgroundBasic(30, 0.005f);
ImageType imageType = ImageType.single(GrayF32.class);
BackgroundModelMoving background = FactoryBackgroundModel.movingBasic(configBasic, new PointTransformHomography_F32(), imageType);

SimpleImageSequence video = media.openVideo(fileName, background.getImageType());

ImageBase nextFrame;
while(video.hasNext()) {
    nextFrame = video.next();

    // Now do something with it...
}
