How do you get these frame captures
Eric & what equipment is required
I have some odd reels of outtakes
from a Halloween comedy TV movie
that I worked on years ago & also
a clean copy of the film we ran
on our Monte Carlo touring show
Chic,
A few years ago, I asked my son (who has been fooling around with computers since he was a tot) to come up with some sort of program so that I could obtain motion picture frame captures from DVDs to post on Buckles’ Blog. (At the time,he had just started working on his PhD at U.C. Davis; something to do with developing computer programs for analyzing data sent in by researchers working in the field.) He came up with a frame capture program and showed me how to use it. Being computer-challenged, I have no idea how he did it or, for that matter, how it works. I just follow his instructions and am able to grab the specific frames I want. After being converted to JPEG files, these frame captures are ready to be e-mailed to Buckles. If your footage is transferred onto a DVD or DVD-R, I should be able to grab individual frames for you to post. (Incidentally, my son just got his PhD and will be starting work at the University of New Mexico next month.)

Thanks Eric & congratulations to
your son & to you for funding it
I'll talk to Kenny about getting
