A lot of people already suggested it, but I will complement anyway: I follow all the steps of the post except the Gimp use. Instead, I used ImageMagick as described in http://www.tjhsst.edu/~dhyatt/supercomp/n401a.html

However, I ran into an issue. There is more detail from my last post on the thread but essentially between the conversion and the process in Gimp my gif quality is not as good as the source. Why is that?

Anonymous: Wherever you are when you run the command, that's where your jpegs will end up.

The way the guide is written, you will be in your home directory, but you could have ended up somewhere else.
Use the "pwd" command to find out where you are.

I'm still confused about Step 3. I'm just not quite sure where the jpeg files are supposed to end up/how to get them. It all works fine up until that point...I just don't know where the jpegs are. Very confused, can anyone help?

For anyone else who's been having trouble getting output from MPlayer on Windows 7, I managed to finally get my jpgs by invoking mplayer from a different folder (i.e. not inside Program Files). Here's what I did:

1. I created a "myWorkspace" directory under C:

2. I put my video in the "myWorkspace" directory.

3. On the command line, I changed directories to C:\myWorkspace

3. "C:\Program Files (x86)\SMPlayer\mplayer\mplayer" -ao null -ss 0:00:25 -endpos 8 discoApache.mp4 -vo jpeg:outdir=discoApache

Hope this saves someone else a headache.
