Time lapse cap

Newbie here. New to Vegas, been in the business since 1978.

Question:

Is there a way to capture single video frames from a DV stream coming via a camera's DV out? I'm aware of speeding up a clip, but I'm talking more like a frame a second (or so) for several days at a time. Any way to set up capture to do this? I have an alternate method using the VX-1000's time lapse feature, but it's clunky. Be much nicer to grab a single frame of running DV "every now and then".

Thanks for any suggestions.

The best way is to use Sceanalyzer:

Alternatively, capture using your camcorder's "time lapse" feature, and then use my time lapse script to exctract one frame from each capture. Here's the link to the script:

For lots more information, do a search on my user name, and use the search term "lapse." You will find lots of links in this forum, including these:
