MPEG Player Freeze frame snapshot: feasible?

[mschneider]

I was watching a video the other day when i thought it might be neat to have some sort of freeze-frame snapshot capability. I have not looked into MPEG compression techniques but i have taken a look at the player code and just wanted some input as to whether or not this would seem feasible. Thanks!

Yes, it's feasible.

However, the standard Rockbox screenshot facility won't work - mpegplayer bypasses the normal Rockbox framebuffer (which the screenshot facility saves to a bmp file) and writes directly to the LCD hardware.

But yes, a function could be added which made a screenshot - it would need to convert the YUV buffer to RGB and then save it to a BMP file.
