Hi MR. Pyros I have a question for you. We have a CRV Recorder/Player at work. I have used you driver to dump frames. I was wondering if you could suggest how I might be able to do a batch capture of a bunch of frames off the CRV on the Hard Disk. All I want to do is have the batch go to a frames, Take it into the Vista board, save it to the hard disk and move onto the next and next.. Thank you for you time. Andrew

Andrew: Moving the laser disc is easy, the more difficult part is supporting all the video boards out there. Do you have a utility that can be called from the DOS command prompt to save an image from your Vista? Greg Pyros

LaserShow is a PC based CRV editing program used by industry heavies (Like Disney, Sony, etc) to create a CRV playlist of video & still image frames for CRV playback. It also offers interactive branching, and control of many devices including Betacams. Anyway… A utility inside of LaserShow allows setting up a cue list for frame grabbing from CRV to the computer. You can actually specify a number of different sections for grabbing in the same session, and set "skip frames", if you don't want to grab every frame. If you would like further info, you can call me at (201) 224-6676 or leave e-mail here on Cserve. Steve Laifer Electric Image Center
