video and LabVIEW

[Andrew Churchill]

Hi,

I've written an app in labview which analyses PAL video footage at the field
level. To do this I have to save the video as a series of graphics files and
then load them one at a time using an IMAQ function. My question is, is it
possible to load a frame (ideally a field) directly from the video footage
(mpeg) from within labview? This would save me a lot of messing about with
the video before I got to actually analysing it.

Any ideas?

cheers,

and.

Try to search on the net some tools to convert MPEG to a series of BMPs or something else (for example, you can do it with 3DStudio but is not the cheapest solution ... 🙂 ).
Another solution could be screen capture, but not elegant at all.
