DV-506 ⁃ Add ability to convert videos into images

[sync-by-unito[bot]]

NOTE- this task needs to be evaluated and discussed with the team, including Shannon, before deciding if we will implement it, and if so, how.

Currently, we do not accommodate videos within IDS, which poses limitations for projects that heavily rely on video data or a combination of video and images.

Robin has provided a solution in a forum post, which converts videos into a series of images. He has discovered a more effective Python code that successfully extracts images from videos while preserving the associated metadata. Additionally, the code allows for extracting images either for the entire video or within a specified frame interval, preventing the generation of an excessive number of images (e.g., 600 images per video).

Attached is the Python code he created.

This is not a top priority task for now, however it could be really useful when we do look into it moving forward.

Isaiah Lekay awesome that he was able to provide the code, it makes is much easier when considering whether we will include this as a new feature within IDS. For now, definitely not a priority though- since he can just run the code himself to extract the images for the time being.
