I've searched high and low but I can't find any software for capturing video sequences from a dvd.
At the moment I'm making do by ramming the Capture button on PowerDVD as fast as possible. All I need is a program that will capture at set intervals, say every 0.1 seconds. I find it hard to believe that such a feature would be so hard to add to a program.

It is difficult to capture from a mpeg stream. Unless the software buffers the master (starting frame of a sequence) a random capture of the data stream only captures the changes to the frame, not the whole frame. The capturing software has to hold the start frame plus all the changes since. To do your .1 sec interval frame grab it would be best to use dual port memory and save the frames after every third frame after the frame has been updated.

Why are you capturing it? VOBs are MPEG2 files. Rename the file extensions from vob to mpg.
Just get an mpeg2 editor? like adobe premiere or there is TMPEG that has a cutter joiner in it.

I'm capturing it because it's part of a menu sequence. I dont even know what file that is on the disk.
Being a menu it's also not possible to run it in slow motion which would make the capturing a lot easier.
