# Output a single frame from the video into an image file:
ffmpeg -i input.mov -ss 00:00:14.435 -vframes 1 out.png

# Output one image every second, named out1.png, out2.png, out3.png, etc.
# The %01d dictates that the ordinal number of each output image will be formatted using 1 digits.
ffmpeg -i input.mov -vf fps=1 out%d.png

# Output one image every minute, named out001.jpg, out002.jpg, out003.jpg, etc.

I recently happened upon an implementation of popen() (different API, same idea) using clone(2), and so I opened an issue requesting use of vfork(2) or posix_spawn() for portability. It turns out that on Linux there's an important advantage to using clone(2). I think I should capture the things I wrote there in a better place. A gist, a blog, whatever.

So here goes.

Long ago, I, like many Unix fans, thought that fork(2) and the fork-exec process spawning model were the greatest thing, and the Windows sucked for only having [exec*()](http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.
