AI Thread Summary
High-speed video footage recorded on VHS can be effectively analyzed by playing it back slowly on a TV. After importing the footage into a computer as an MPEG file using a TV tuner card, the need arises for software that can easily segment the video into smaller clips and extract frames for reports. Recommendations for user-friendly video editing software include Adobe Premiere, which is suitable for handling large files and offers the necessary features for editing and frame extraction. Windows Movie Maker may not be reliable for this task due to issues with crashing and file handling.

Hello all,

I've taken some high-speed (~1000fps) video footage for a project I'm working on. I've recorded it all onto VHS, such that it can be played back at very slow speed through a normal VCR on a TV, so that I can analyse my experiment. In real-time there's only about 30 seconds of actual footage but this equates to about half an hour when played back on a normal TV.

Now I've used a TV tuner card to import my video onto my computer (it's now a nice big MPEG file), and I need some software to basically chop it up into small sections (seperate files) and 'grab' the occasional frame to use as pictures in my report.

Does anyone have any recommendation for software I can use? The simpler the better (ideally I'd just be using Windows Sound Recorder for this, but it doesn't do video!). I tried using Windows Movie Maker but it kept crashing, possibly because when I imported my MPEG it split it up into a few hundred short clips and the overall file size is almost 2Gb.

Thanks in advance!

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'
Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
