user39523: I'm just starting with ffmpeg, and i can't get any command to run, they all return
"Unable to find a suitable output format for 'i'
i: Invalid argument"

The command was just ffmpeg i StarWars1977.m4v. Does the input file need too be in somewhere specific, or do I need to copy the file path?
I'm trying to extract frames from a video, but it was giving the same error, so i was trying a simpler test.

user12626: This will get you one frame at the one minute mark.
ffmpeg -ss 00:01:00 -i "[FilePath]" -frames:v 1 img.png
