    If you're looking for a library to do this programmatically, try imageio (Python) or OpenCV's VideoCapture (C/C++/Python/Java). I recommend imageio - very easy to deploy, compared to OpenCV. Don't know about other languages.

    Here is one way to just extract the frames:

    ffmpeg -i in.avi -q:v 0 imagename_%04d.jpg

    Google h264 to raw. Yuv format is what you describe
