MATLAB: Can anyone specify the code to convert video to frames and convert the frames to same video? I use the below code to convert video to frames

Image Processing Toolboxvideo processing

vid=VideoReader(ASD.mp4);
numFrames=vid.NumberOfFrames;
n=numframes;
for I=1:n
frames=read(vid,I);
imWrite(frames,[`image` int2str(I), `jpg`]);
im(I)=image(frames);

See my attached demo. It goes both ways, from video to individual frame, and from individual frames to a video.

MATLAB: Converting video to frames

Try this demo. That is one of the things it does:

% Demo macro to extract frames and get frame means from an avi movie
% and save individual frames to separate image files.
% Also computes the mean gray value of the color channels.
clc;    % Clear the command window.
close all;  % Close all figures (except those of imtool.)
imtool close all;  % Close all imtool figures.
clear;  % Erase all existing variables.
workspace;  % Make sure the workspace panel is showing.
fontSize = 14;
% Change the current folder to the folder of this m-file.
% (The line of code below is from Brett Shoelson of The Mathworks.)
if(~isdeployed)
  cd(fileparts(which(mfilename)));
end
% Open the rhino.avi demo movie that ships with MATLAB.
folder = fullfile(matlabroot, '\toolbox\images\imdemos');
movieFullFileName = fullfile(folder, 'rhinos.avi');
% Check to see that it exists.

  if strcmpi(response, 'OK - choose a new movie.')

MATLAB: Converting video frames into image file using vision.VideoFileReader

videoread = vision.VideoFileReader('YourFile.avi');
i = 0;
hold on
while ~isDone(videoread)
    i = i + 1;
    frames = step(videoread);
    imwrite(frames,['Image' int2str(i), '.jpg']);
    im(i)=image(frames);
    drawnow()
end
release(videoread)

However, I do would recommend you consider removing the image() call, as you would simply be putting image on top of image. It would make more sense to,

videoread = vision.VideoFileReader('YourFile.avi');
i = 0;
hold on
while ~isDone(videoread)
    i = i + 1;
    frames = step(videoread);
    imwrite(frames,['Image' int2str(i), '.jpg']);
    if i == 1
      all_images = frames;
    else
        all_images(:,:,:,i) = frames;
    end
end
release(videoread)

after which you could

implay(all_images)
