Hello Syaido,

The IMAQ Vision software includes features where you can extract frame image data from avi files. From the image data you have extracted, you can continue and wire them to other VIs to do your analysis. Using this, you will not actually have to convert your avi files to BMPs. I hope that will help you get started with your project. I have attached a file that actually reads a avi file and extracts a frame of your choice out of it. Have a good day.

Hello Syaido,

If you would like to upgrade to 7.1, you would have to contact an NI staff or order it online. Upgrading it to 7.1 will give you useful new features such as timed loops but you should be able to complete your application with 7.0. I have attached the same program that I rewrote in 7.0. By the way, I have NI-IMAQ 3.1.1 and IMAQ Vision 7.1.1 installed on the computer I'm using. You will need these drivers (not necessarily the same version) to complete your program. I hope this helps. Have a great day!!
