[Red5] capturing a jpeg from a webcam

[Dan Rossi]

There is some examples of how to generate an image from the video class 
area in flex

If its stills from recorded media you need, im still trying to work out 
the most efficient way myself , we are running red5 on windoze and ive 
already tried looping runtime java executions of ffmpeg command line 
along certain frames with major problems its totally flakey, and the 
process seems to just continue and wont stop.

I tried looking into C# alternatives with the FFmpeg wrappers , this one 
doesnt seem to want to load the dll assembly in VS C# Express , and was 
a pain to build the supplied dll assembly source and sign it.

And this doesnt have any docs,

http://sourceforge.net/projects/sharpffmpeg

so im still stranded for a solution, any lower level wrapper 
implementation would be good, i dont see for my needs multiple calls to 
ffmpeg to get a single still across many frames is going to work :D
