when code executed, receive error - overflowerror: python int large convert c long. how may go solving please? code meant create frame grabber allows me pick frame want , save it.

well, error telling you passing number in line:

cv2.createtrackbar(pos_trackbar, win_name, 0,int(cap.get(total_frames_flag)), seek_callback) 

that large cast ctypes.c_long; maximum number can represented type (2**31)-1 = 2147483647.

this presumably total_frames_flag. that's lot of frames (approx. 500 days @50fps), can't right.

i notice getting value before open video file, it's undefined @ point. try doing after you've opened file, , see if fixes things. print value, well, see if indeed large (before try suggested change).
