A piece of python script to dump out GIF/JPEG images from different files like powerpoints/webshots collections/screensavers etc. Sometimes I feel the need to do this, especially from powerpoints to have a better look at some of the embedded images. I dont know why anyone else would like to do it, but I felt that this was probably useful. :-)

I've created a faster enchanted version with PNG and multiple JPG support, I try to post it as a comment in 2 parts. Part 1:

import sys, os, time
## v0.2.1
#now write only GIF/JPEG
#v0.2.1 (by naxa):
#PNG and several other JPEG formats supported as well

## extra
BUFFER_LENGTH = 1024
# File signatures with their associated mime type
Types = {
    "\x47\x49\x46\x38\x37\x61": "GIF87a", #GIF87a type gif
    "\x47\x49\x46\x38\x39\x61": "GIF89a", #GIF89a type gif
    "\x89\x50\x4E\x47\x0D\x0A\x1A\x0A": "PNG",
    "\xFF\xD8\xFF\xE0": "JPG", #JFIF jpeg
    "\xFF\xD8\xFF\xE1": "JPG", #EXIF jpeg
    "\xFF\xD8\xFF\xE8": "JPG" #SPIFF jpeg
    }
imgsigs = Types.keys()
imgtypes = [Types[f] for f in imgsigs]
imgsigoffs = [0]*len(imgtypes)
## end of extra
imgmarker=[]
