Extracting AVI frames - converting to readily accessible BMPs

Hi, Im at a roadblock currently, I need to extract frames from an AVI video then convert it to BMP images and load/apply it as a texture to an object in a 3D scene. Now the problem is not extracting the frames, Ive managed to extract the frames using the IMAQ AVI Vis available but Im stuck after that.
I found the 'write file as BMP' VI under Vision Utilities, one of the terminals of the VI says 'File Path' now does that mean the path it will write the file to? Or...?
Secondly, I can't seem to find a way of simultaenously loading/saving lots of BMPs. The texture I apply to the object is from a BMP picture (and in this case lots of BMP images extracted from the AVI video) just using the 'Read BMP file' vi, which leads back to the path/directory of the BMP on the PC. Which is where the problem lies, I need the 'Read BMP file' vi to continously update every "x" seconds to account for the number of frames / FPS of the video so it reads each frame from the video as its updated. But if I need to save the accquired AVI frames as BMPs I don't see a way of doing this.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Solved!

Hi
As I understand from your post you have acquired your data, so the problem is writing the extracted files to bmp and saving the files.
I have been looking into your issue and have found some documentation which may help with your application.
1) You asked about the path input to the bmp.vi's, the input path is for the file that you wish to write the data to, as the data is input through the image data terminal.
When in LabVIEW there is a handy context help tool, if you type ctrl+h a small window opens, when you hover your mouse over a function the window will display the basic description for that item, in the window clicking on detailed help will take you straight to the correct document.
2) You were also asking about continuously reading and simultaneously loading/saving the bmp data.
The link below is for a presentation on design patterns which may help you make an informed decision about the architecture of your vi.

I am going to continue to look into this for you, if you have any questions please feel free to ask and I will get back to you.
Thank you

Extraction Key Frames from a video

Hi all,
I would like to know what is the best way to extract keyframe from a video.
My Status (butr I can cahnge it)
I'm Marco and I'm using JMF; I need for an help because I don't know how to extract keyframes from AVI and MPG files.
I'm using the code posted in this forum for extracting all frame in a video with the adding of an if expression that in the accessFrame method that I report below:
void accessFrame(Buffer frame) {
BufferToImage stopBuffer = new BufferToImage((VideoFormat) frame.getFormat());
Image stopImage = stopBuffer.createImage(frame);
try {
BufferedImage outImage = new BufferedImage(size.width, size.height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Graphics og = outImage.getGraphics();
og.drawImage(stopImage, 0, 0, size.width, size.height, null);
Iterator writers = ImageIO.getImageWritersByFormatName("jpg");
ImageWriter writer = (ImageWriter) writers.next();
File f = new File(frame.getSequenceNumber() + ".jpg");
if ((frame.getFlags() & Buffer.FLAG_KEY_FRAME) != 0){{color}
{color:#ff9900}
ImageOutputStream ios = ImageIO.createImageOutputStream(f);
writer.setOutput(ios);
{color:#ff9900}
writer.write(outImage);
ios.close();}
} catch (IOException e) {{color}
System.out.println("Error :" + e);
So, I'm able to extract some keyframe, but i'm not sure it is the correct way and my dubt grows out of the fact that without the if expression highlighted in red, it seems that I have more keyframes (those ones with flag ==1040). Another problem is that it works only with AVI because MPG instead of 1040, they have alternate sequence of 32 and 1056.
Cheers and thank u
Marco

With the code yoodleyee posted, frames can be extracted and converted from the raw decoded format into images, but no guarantee that the frame extracted is a key frame, isnt it?Actually, there is such a guarantee...because the FrameGrabbingControl isn't implemented in any video format that uses keyframes. So, if it works, then every frame of the video is a keyframe, and it won't work otherwise.
How can key frames be detected with JMF and then extracted with the code provided? Any tutorial or sample code about that?They can't be. You can write a custom codec that will give you access to every frame, regardless of the format, if you're wanting to get all of the frames.
Example: [http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/FrameAccess.html]
But JMF doesn't have any way of dealing with key frames directly, at least that I am aware of.

HI GalaxieMusique,
I'm french too, but I'm going to write this post in english so that everyone may understand it
I have the same problem in Mavericks, but I'd say, more important, with QuickLook.
Indeed Quicklook can't read avi movies anymore. Actually it always been the case, but with Perian we were able to fix it. The problem is that Perian is no longer available for Mac OS 10.9....
I'd assume that our only hope is Apple themselves... It would be nice from Apple to creat an add-on for quicklook to be able to preview the avi movies.
In regards with quicktime, you can download QuickTime 7 here:
http://www.01net.com/telecharger/windows/Multimedia/lecteurs_video_dvd/fiches/10 0.html
and ask all the .avi movies to be played by QuickTime 7 and not QuickTime X (included into Mac OS).
Sorry for the english, we french people can make mistakes sometimes
If anyone has a solution for QuickLook, please do not hesitate. This topic is becoming a real mess....

Can I extract a frame from a RoxioPlasma -created DVD into PSE10?

Mac User (LION w/2Gb memory)
PSE 10
Several images were writen with RoxioPlasma onto a DVD and plays well in iDVD. I want to extract several frames into PSE10. Is it possible to do it (do I need a plug-in?)?

When you say "Extract a frame", do you mean saving one of the frames as an image from Photoshop?
Here's what you can do:
1. Open the video in Photoshop, File > Open, and choose the .mov file.
2. Once the video opens in Photoshop, open the Animation panel, Window > Animation
3. In the Animation panel move the playhead to the desired frame, and save it as an image, File > Save As.
and Voila!
Any questions, just ask. I'll be more than happy to help.

Can I Extract a Frame from a Video (in Lightroom 3 or Photoshop CS5)?

I'm running Windows 7 and have Lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS5. Extracting a frame from a .MOV file is way over my head, but I want to try. Right now the file is in Lightroom, but the "Open in" options are grayed out. I have exported the file to my desktop, and I can play the video with Windows Media Player. I bet somewhere, somehow there is a way to do what I want. Any help, ideas or references would be much appreciated!

Extract ALL frames to JPEG

How can I extract all frames from a AVCHD clip to JPEG?

We can use a script for the massive load of work, no problem
So, how do you do that [Export of sequencial stills]? I believe you are talking about an automatic way to export them all at once, right?
I even tried upon [Export media] and then JPEG but it only takes one. Quite ridiculous!

Mail 2.1.1 converting jpg's to bmp's and embedding them w/o attachment

Anyone else have this problem. When I attach and send out some jpg's, the recipient gets an embedded file that doesn't show up as an attachment. Instead it converts it to a bmp and they have to right click it then change the file name. I haven't seen help on this anywhere. Mac tech support could not help me. Why is it converting my jpg's? I did make sure to check that I was sending "Windows friendly attachments." Anyone else out there know?

Are you using RTF format for message composition along with a signature?
Are you adding any such attachments below all message text including a signature if one is used?
RTF with Tiger Mail is HTML and if you are adding any such attachments within/between message text and above a signature if one is used can cause problems primarily with Windows Outlook users depending on the Outlook version the recipient is using.
The Mail.app displays image/photo and single page PDF attachments inline or viewed in place by default which cannot be turned off but depending on the recipient's email client and available preference settings, such attachments may appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message when the message is opened by the recipient or as attached files only which must be opened separately to be viewed for which the sender has no control over.
For this reason, I always do the following and rarely receive such a reported problem.
Include the file extension with all attached files, send with Windows Friendly Attachments enabled (which has no effect on your reported problem but always a good idea when sending attachments to a Windows user for another reason) and always add attachments below all message text including a signature when one is used.
If doing the above does not resolve it, use Plain Text for message composition instead which should.

How to convert an AVI frame to an image data cluster ?

Hi everybody,
I have previous VIs that manipulate pictures (image data cluster) readen from JPEG files. I'd like to use these VIs to analyse individual frames from an AVI file.
How can I connect the image out of the IMAQ AVI read.vi to the picture input of the Draw Flattened Pixmap.vi?
Thanks for helping,
Olivier
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for the tip but, in my implentation, it generates that the no picture can be manipulated. Could you tell me where is my mistake?

Also keep in mind that there are two definitions of bitmap. You want the 2-color version where each bit represents one color or the other. However, thanks to Microsoft, their bitmaps are really just uncompressed strings of RGB values, storing each pixel in multiple bits.

Avi frame by frame, it doesn't play

Hi,
i'm on Mac Os X 10.7.1, with QuickTime Player X 10.1 and Perian 1.2.3. When i start an avi file with the Quick Look it plays normally, but with QuickTime Player every time i play, it goes forward 1 frame than it stops.
Any idea?

Hi there,
Yes I'm still struggling with this project for the cinema,
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3746281#3746281
but I don't want to be beaten by it. The cinema is very impressed with what I have produced, it's just configuring everything to work on their system.
Ideally I would like to do what I wanted originally which is to produce a "trailer jukebox" where they select 4 trailers to play, as posed by my original posting. But that requires extra scripting and Final Cut Studio which I am daunted by the technical side of as I'm more a design person, and also the cost of the software. However I haven't ruled that out yet as this project could be reasonably lucrative for me as they would require updated DVD's once a month. Where we got to in the discussions with their technical manager was that if I couldn't do the scripting required, perhaps I could supply them with 5 or 6 disks with a variety of trailers on each disk that does't autoplay when inserted.
I agree with you that they must be able to configure their computer DVD player so that it doesn't auto run when a disk is inserted.
Thanks for your input, much appreciated.

How to extract a frame from a DVDSP created disc

Hi Folks,
I have a client who is interested in capturing a frame from a DVD that we created using DVDSP3. She wants to either print or email it to some family members. I know I can extract it from the original video file, but I'd rather not get involved. Can anyone recommed a simple shareware or inexpensive tool that will allow someone to grab a frame from the finished DVD? I'd be interested in both Mac and PC tools.
Thanks,
Chris

I hope the PC tools are better
Not if you dont use them correctly
Do you get the camera? Do you select the VLC window? It works just fine... I've never not been able to do it!
You can use AppleShift4 (no spacebar) and select the area you want but it's not as fast as the +Spacebar way as you have to drag the area. You can always edit the method that you can do in photoshop or something...

.avi file converted to MPEG4 but problem

Yes I was able to add a .mov ext to it but the video is not showing up. It was created on a PC using Tony Hawk helmet cam. I would like to use these clips to make low quality video of my bike rides etc.
As I said, I get audio but the Quicktime video pane is blank (white screen). Are there any tricks to converting it to any Quicktime format that would make the video appear? I can tell it has large amounts of data as it should (28mb) for a 4 minute video. When I initially uploaded it from the network, I proceeded to open it and Quicktime pro notified me that I needed a plugin and directed me to the plugins and update page you find in the Quicktime preferences pane when you click the update tab. Any help would be great!
Thanks in advance,
Martin J. Estrada

I finally rec'd QuickTime for the web and it's accompanying CD. I installed it in OS 9, restarted, and had the option of converting the .avi to multiple different formats including .mp4 and .mov. After registering it and activating it I converted the file to .mov then transferred it to my eMac and imported it to iMovie where I was able to adjust the sound track to be in sync with the video track.
Thank you so much for all your interest QTK and especially Dick. You guys pointed me in the right direction and really trouble shot this problem. It was not a cheap fix and I sorta wish this stuff just worked but I will read the book and derive as much as I can from it to utilise in QT and iMovie.
I forgot to mention that QT Pro 6 was a casualty of a crashed HD two summers ago. I had no record of the key. Apple recognized that I legitimately had a right to it but was unable to provide it because it had been phased out by the time I went to reinstall it. They provided at no charge a key for QT Pro 7 instead.
Thanks again,
Martin J. Estrada
