If you required to, catch a screenshot frames for every 5 seconds in this VLC player with using the input as video file, then yes it is possible. In this case, it is necessary that your input video has previously set the frame rate of 25fps. Then in this case, you just try to execute this code. This will be effective to do this task. This code is to be as vlc -V image --image-out-format png --image-out-ratio 250 --image-out-prefix image_snapshot INPUT. This will be easily do this task.

This code is to be only support in the specific version of the VLC. Then you need to download and then install this version and this will be help to you for solving such problem. If you have work on the VLC 0.9.8a version, then remember one thing that this task is not possible with this version. This will be only available on the latest version of the VLC and they are 0.9.9/1.0.0 version. Then use this version of VLC and do this task.

I had work on the VLC 0.9.8a version. Then I decided to upgrade this version for doing such advanced task. Then I use the online update facility. In this task, the official site of the VLC helps me to do this task. Finally I got the correct result when I install latest version of the VLC on the system
