Dear biomechanicists,
We dispose of a JVC camcorder (model DVL-9800) that has the option of
recording at a highest speed of 200 fps (it is a PAL version). When
doing this, the image size is only a quarter of full-size (limiting
resolution), but nevertheless it is very useful for field work.
However, when we grab the recorded sequences (using a Canopus EZDV
board), the resulting AVI file does not consist of the expected number
of frames (200) but of 25 frames that are interlaced and have "frames"
consisting of a mosaic of four subsequent recorded frames. In this way,
eight frames are recorded as one.
However, for analysis we need AVI files consisting of a true 200 fps
time resolution. Therefore, I think we need a utility program that:
1. reads the original AVI of 25 fps;
2. de-interlaces the frames into two fields, each consisting of 4
subsequent images, resulting in a 50 fps file;
3. splits these frames into four, resulting in a 200 fps file;
4. saves this file as a new AVI that can be opened in commercial
analysis software.
Could such utility be written as a macro (e.g. in Adobe Premiere), or is
elaborate programming necessary?
Thank you very much in advance,
Kris.
