We've done a lot of similar work, will be happy to compare notes.
This should frequently intersect with keyframes for decent/VBR encoded video, if I'm not mistaken.

There's nothing wrong with asking questions without self-deprecation, but if you're going to self-deprecate, try not to use hurtful language.
Now I see your point, though, he is associating his slowness-to-the-punch with people who are unfortunately physiologically slow-to-the bunch, and according to you this type of lateral association is bad because...?
Because it is shameful to be wrong or ignorant, and therefore associating the shameful act of a non-retarded person with the unshameful reality of being retarded creates a subconscious association between being retarded and shame--- is that it?
If so, isn't it harmful to consider being publicly wrong or ignorant shameful? Should we not have patience with others who know less?
I understand there's a spartan-esque utility to being brutal in a highly competitive skills-based situation (like most engineering). So I am unsure as to where to position myself with this question!
Shed some light?
I think back then I was looking to take 5-10 snaps somewhere between the 30-50% mark and then use the largest (I guess in theory more detail - not a blank frame) image
Does anyone have a better way, or even just know how to pull a snapshot at "30%" using ffmpeg? I think at the time I used outside code and ffprobe to figure out where 30% is, there's bound to be a better way than that
Over-engineering is sometimes quite fun, though.
Stack Overflow would close it as too specific or some other thing if I asked directly. Despite how much as I use it, I hate that damn site.
It's often hard to have this discussion without it devolving into an argument over "political correctness" [0] so hopefully that can be avoided.
Easiest answer is that the term retarded originally was an acceptable term for people with disabilities, but now has a negative connotation, and when used pejoratively as OP did carries the (possibly unintended) implication that people with disabilities are of less value.
I think Wikipedia entry on Retard (pejorative) [1] is a good summary.
It's also worth mentioning "ableist language" and "ableism" here. [2]

Some people have mental health issues. Throwing "retarded" around simply make those people feel bad.
How hard is it to use a different word that won't put a load on someone's life?
Anyway, it's not shameful to be wrong or ignorant. That's why I said that there's nothing wrong with asking questions without self-deprecation.
Nice search engine, btw. Small bug - comma in "Year given".
