Is it possible using the iPhone SDK to grab a frame from a video

  • 0

Is it possible using the iPhone SDK to grab a frame from a video in iPhone and save it or use it in any way in the application? Does the SDK give any control over the video other than play/stop or maybe access to the binary data of the video?

Also is it possible to know the time at which the user stopped watching the video (i know in SDK 3.0 it is possible to start the video from a specific time).

Thanks

EDIT:
If not through the official APIs, is there another way to do any of the above in a way that won’t ban the application from the AppStore?
