Sure, I didn't mean anything personal by what I said, sorry if it sounded that way... Anyhow. In my experience, which may be somewhat limited here anyhow... I believe you can get some screen capturing utility to capture the portion of the screen (I used to have one somewhere, but would have to dig for it now - I think it's called Srip), and you could run the app, outline the portion of the screen you intend to capture, then when finished; post process the captured video into separate image files as outlined above. I got to thinking about this after I replied to you, and the info I had given before was to un-animate an animated gif into separate frames. If I remember correctly, some screen capturing utilities will also do this with captured video files depending upon how you use the utility to capture the video. Of course, if you were to capture the video and convert it to an animated gif, or capture it as an animated gif, then the process would potentially use IrfanView as mentioned in my earlier posts. Try

DOH! my html didn't work in the last response, so some of it got cut off.

I meant to tell you to try www.freewarehome.com - you may find a freeware utility for screen capturing that will do this, and everything there is freeware. I don't have any experience with a utility called Port Scan for video capture. I'm used to hearing that in reference to networking and hacking, so you've got me a little confused there... I'll go do some digging for screen capture utilities and report back if I find anything of use.

Good luck to you! I'd be interested to hear how this all turns out. Also, I'd be interested to hear from anyone with better ideas on how to do this, or corrections to what I've stated...

BTW, I did like what I saw in the later frames of the video...

Sorry about the multiple posts.
