Hi, from http://cortex.unice.fr/~jerome/grabslides/README grabslides is a command line tool we created to automate the synchronisation of videos and slides during live and on-demande courses. It can capture frames from either a Video4Linux device, or from an Axis Video Server, and offers unprecedented flexibility to configure this capturing : device, channel, interframe delay, resolution, compression factor, output directory, link to the current slide, and so on are all configurable items. Some of them can be modified while the program is running through the use of signals, and in the future through a GUI. In addition, it can generate PDF, HTML and XML documents which will contain all the captured slides. There again, multiple possibilities are offered. We use this software every day to capture slides from the output of a VGA-to-Composite converter. Once the capture is done, a SMIL generator is run over the set of slides produced, and a SMIL file linking to the video and slides, both synchronised, is created. The SMIL generator we wrote will be published later. regards, Holger
