 for iframe = 1

Best Answer

You can use a while loop here.
Folder = 'OUTPUT\';
vid = videoinput('winvideo', 1);
     
   % wait for 5 seconds
    
while true
  frames = getsnapshot(vid);
  pause(5);
  imwrite(frames, fullfile(Folder, sprintf('%06d.jpg', iframe)));
  iframe = iframe + 1;
end
Hope this does it.
