editing multiple frames of animated menu

[cryton2707]

Wonder if anyone can help:confused:

Basically Ive got a menu from a dvd as .m2v (mpg video only) and I want to remove some elements of the video.

My first thought was to split the mpg into frames and then script in photoshop editing the images to remove the undesired elements.. But I cant find any software to split the mpg into frames..

Then I thought that someone out there may well have come accross this problem before.. when doing the old dvd-9 to dvd-5.

So what I'd like to know is what is your method of editing these video streams to remove unwanted elements and what software you use to do it. :D

you will HAVE to decompress the m2v into an avi or a bitmap sequence and compress it back to m2v afterwards.

Enf...

there is a m2v2bmp program that does exactly this. Ucan get it from dooms site. It is even attached in a post in the fora. Can't remember which one.

:) Thanks guys.. I ended up using tmpgenc to split the m2v into bmp frames..

Then photoshop 7 to batch alter the frames. and bmp2avi to remake the video and tmpgenc to make it back into a m2v.

There was a slight video/audio sync problem but because the videos were only like 5 seconds its really difficult to knotice the slight sync problem. since bmp2avi allows you to enter a frame rate and I entered 29 for ntsc not 29.97 (as bmp2avi required whole numbers)

All in all not to bad..

thanks for the help though.
