oggvideopreview

I recently used oggvideopreview and found it to be a great Python module for getting preview images from Theora videos in Ogg files. This software tool leverages libogg and libtheora to easily accomplish this task. One major benefit of oggvideopreview is that it is designed to be simple to use. However, if you have more complex requirements, you are able to modify the C source code for your specific needs.

When installing, it is important to note that python-oggvideopreview uses distutils and requires the libraries libogg and libtheora. To build, simply run "./setup.py build." If you would like to build and install the software at the same time, run "./setup.py install."

Additionally, oggvideopreview provides a helpful example to demonstrate how to use the tool. The example code imports the module, Image, and sys. After importing, it retrieves the video image using the "get_video_image(path)" function. The preview image is returned in RGB format with the size and image data determined by oggvideopreview.make_preview(path).

Overall, I would highly recommend oggvideopreview to any Python developers seeking a reliable and straightforward way to extract preview images from Ogg video files.
