ffmpeg take a screenshot of an flv file every minute

I'm new to using ffmpeg. I'd like to take several screenshots of an flv file at 1 minute intervals.

I found this command on ffmpeg's website

ffmpeg -i input.flv -f image2 -vf fps=fps=1/60 img%03d.jpg

However this does not work, when I run it I get the error 'no such filter 'fps''

Is there an easy way to do this? I am open to using an entirely different program as well, but it has to run on a server from command line.

Any help is much appreciated.

  • I have used your command before with success. Perhaps you have an older version of FFmpeg. Please try updating if you have not already.
