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!

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
