Hallo > We are a group of undergraduate students presently working on our undergraduate > thesis. One of the things that we have to do initially is to digitize videos > which we have recorded using a Sony Video Camera Recorder (CCD-TRV16 NTSC). Is > it possible to do this using MJPEG tools? I know it is possible to do video > recording via mjpeg tools, but what about capturing what we have already > recorded on the video tape and then saving it on our computer in AVI format? > As I understand, once we have avi files, we can use mjpeg to separate images > (what we actually need for our thesis). If that Recorder can output the video to fire-wire you might be able to capture it with dvgrab/kino (http://www.schirmacher.de/)
If that recorder only has analog output you need a capture card. Something like zoran based card like the DC10/BUZ/LML33 oder Matrox Marvel based cards. If you need good quality I would not recommend a bttv based card. It will also work if you have a Analog to Fire Wire converter (Canopus Box for example) and capture than with dvgrab. In both cases you can than process that recorded videso with the mjpegtools. For more information take a look at the mjpeg-howto at sf (mjpeg.sf.net). There is a nice part how to seperate single images from a recroded video. > If these things are not possible with mjpeg tools, what tools can we use to > achieve our purpose? Here are the specifications : we are running Mandrake 9.0 > and using Matrox G450eTV card.

If you know what you are doing maybe not. But it helps to see what you are doing. auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
