I have a short video, 46 seconds, 1405 frames.
I'm compressing every fifth frame, there should be 281 in total. When the extraction reaches 100%, the operation continues running with the message "Running pass 1 of 1: Extraction:" and unpacks all frames. If I stop the operation, no alignments file is created.
Why does it not stop after the 281st frame? The latest version is installed.

Re: Endless extract - much image
Most likely, the video file is misreporting the number of frames it contains.
The only way to get a guaranteed accurate frame count is to scrub through the entire video decoding every frame. That is too slow, so we rely on the video file to accurately report how many frames it contains. Not all video files do.
If it goes beyond 100%, just leave it running. The video file has lied about how many frames it contains.
My word is final

I cut and saved the video with Avidemux, but without transcoding. Thanks for the tip, I'll watch it recoded.
Update: Set this MP4 option to Use fragmentation, and save file. This helped me.
