Take Pictures from a VIDEO_TS...?

[Chana1]

Sup ppl,

My cousin made a slideshow of our hoilday pictures onto a 4gb disc, he made it with a menu...

I need just the pictures alone from the whole cd... how do i take just the pictures from the disc and leave the movies?

In the picture below is the menu the little tab at number 1 contains all the pictures the rest are movies...

So i just need everything at number 1 any idea on how i would do this???

The same way you grabbed that one, they are no longer images but video.

Never mind my previous..Shrink in Re-author mode....

[Chana1]

ummm damn

[Chana1]

t0nee1 it didnt work

[t0nee1]

Did you get an error? what gives? Is disk in DVD format with Vob's ifo's and bup's.....

Find out which vob contains the pics you want.
Open it with Virtualdubmod (I have v1.5.10.2 on my system)
Under the file menu choose "Save image sequence".
Choose the image type (tga), (bmp), (PNG), select output dir and file prefix,
Each image will be saved with the chosen prefix and sequence number as it's filename.
That's it.

I see some Seaworld pictures there - Shamu Rocks!!!

We got back two weeks ago and are already planning our next trip

As for the answer, follow what gll99 said.

One important thing also to keep things in sequence.
You will notice a box named "minimum number of digits in the filename". If you have 9999 images or less then put 4 if you have 10000 or more put 5, more than 100000 put 6 etc...

This will add leading zeroes before the number to pad it up to the maximum number of digits specified. You can put a bigger number there if you want you'll just end up with more leading zeroes in the filename

Why?
Most file reading programs (including image) don't read the numbers as numbers the way we do. With numbers under 999, 1 is followed by 10 (not 2) and next is 100 to 109 and then 11 followed by 110 to 119 then 12 followed by 120 to 129 and then 13 etc...

Using leading zeroes as placeholders fixes this issue so images are read consecutively.


btw) If you only want a partial consecutive series of images, you can do a mark in and mark out or cuts on the timeline before you use the Save Image sequence option. Only the section you marked will be saved.

rhegedus... hahaha shamu is 1 crazy ass whale loll that thing can jump high mannnn!! loll and thanks gll99 ill try your way now and get back to you let u no how it went

[Chana1]

It came out wrong its coming out with loads of the same pictures as you can see in the picture below, what i think its doing it taking loads of snap shots like every second or so and those pictures are being saved as shown in the picture.

I only need the one picture of each one on the disk....

How do i just get each individual picture off of the disk?

Thanks for the help your giving ...

[hech54]

Not all of them....but some softwares that create slideshows are capable of putting the original jpeg images on the disc....somewhere.
My old ULead software can do it. Have you explored the disc/folders to be sure?
Just a thought...that (include original images) is not an option most know about....I didn't for a while.

[Chana1]

yep iv checked the disk properly theres no images just the video files...

[thecoalman]

Again it's video, you're in PAL country so each second is going to contain 25 images per second.

Go to video>framerate and under frame rate conversion select "decimate by:" From there it depends on how many consecutive frames each image is visble for. if it's 5 seconds then it would be 125 frames. That will grab every 125th frame.

I used to use this older proggy that might work for ya...

As hech54 stated" but some softwares that create slideshows are capable of putting the original jpeg images on the disc....somewhere.
You never know!....it may be able to open your video images....
update just used SSMM to open images from a movie disk,and was able to open and save each .bmp preview pic.

[gll99]

@Chana1, I agree with thecoalman, this will correct that problem. Sorry, I forgot to tell you about that important extra step but I was working from old memory.

We don't decimate for normal clips but of course this is a slideshow and there is no automatic image hold. Delay is caused by duplicating the original images until the required duration is obtained in video.

No matter how thorough we think we are, it's so easy forget one important step to fit the particular circumstances.

Just shows you that it takes a team effort.

There may be other programs designed to do specific jobs but I like vdub for the surprisingly many tasks it can accomplish all in one nifty pocket tool.

[Chana1]

the pictures change after every 4minutes so would that b every 124 frame?

[gll99]

If this is PAL
To produce 4 minutes of video at 25 fps I calculate it would take 6000 frames. (4min x 60 sec) = 240 seconds
240 x 25 fps = 6000 frames.

Although that seems too long to hold an image so I'm guessing 4 seconds x 25 fps = 100, yet that seems like a short time to view a picture but more realistic than 4 minutes.
