Extracting graphics/slides from videos

27 Sep 2006 3:06 PM

JoJo

Folks:

I have some DVDs that contain the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders. The
VIDEO_TS folder contains *.VOB video file formats.

A typical video presentations consist of: Audio, Video, Text, & Graphics
components.

* I am looking for SOFTWARE that would allow me to extract or separate
or view or copy the graphics (slides) components of these videos.

Thanks in advance,
Jo.

JoJo,

Google search for...
"Windows Media Player Classic"

Media Player Classic will play most all media files, Even QuickTime and
RealMedia if the proper codec's are installed on your machine. The F5 key
during play (or pause) will save a screen capture of the video as a bmp or
jpeg file to a location of your choice.

MPC is supposed to play DVD video files as well, I have not tried that
though.

If having the correct codec becomes an issue, maybe try Codec's.com to
download (free) codec's for most any media file out there.

Hope this helps...

I use IRFANVIEW to extract frames from video clips.

Jim:

I have IRFANVIEW installed on my machine but it does NOT recognize *.VOB
file format.

* Do I need some type of special plugin ?

Thanks

A Google search for "file extension vob" returns this
information...
http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/terms/vob.cfm
VOB stands for DVD Video Object. It is basically one of the
core files found on DVD-Video discs and contains the actual
movie data.

Basically VOB file is just a basic MPEG-2 system stream --
meaning that it is a file that contains multiplexed MPEG-2
video stream, audio streams (normally AC3 and DTS formats)
and subtitle streams.

You might try either of two options...
1. IRFANVIEW help indicates that you can run a video and
then run IRFANVIEW to capture the running stream OR
2. Copy and then rename the file with a MPEG extension.

You might contact irfanv***@gmx.net for advice.

Look here too. http://www.videohelp.com/capture This was
linked from the IRFANVIEW FAQ page. They do show a
conversion from VOB to MPG [and others formats].
