Not sure if this was suggested, but how about: using video capture in LV, saving low frame rate video as AVI using the IMAQ VIs. Save off 1 file per part, with a suitably descriptive filename to tag it to the data.
I'm sure you could find a way to compress AVI to MPEG4 either under LV control on the fly, or via post processing. Or, you could just to a batch process later on if it was required.

This software is made specifically to do this type of different format database correlation. You can click in a data table and it automatically displays the corresponding video frame, and vice versa - advance/Rewind the video panel and the corresponding data point(s) is highlighted in a table or on a graph. Very flexible and powerful. Kinda pricey, but very economical compared to trying to program the functionality yourself if it is needed (and sounds like it might be). You still have to acquire the data (others have offered guidance), but Diadem allows the manipulation you allude to in the message below. It may be way more than what is needed in your application, but probably warrants a look anyway. Randy Lloyd INEEL - Materials Dept. 208-526-0808 ~~~ Subject: RE: Video surveillance From: "E.
