Abstract

A frame-accurate video capturing system is described. The frame-accurate video capturing system captures a frame-accurate video segment into digital form. The system includes a start and stop frame capturing system that allows a user to identify a start frame and a stop frame of a desired video segment having a plurality of frames from an external video program. The frame-accurate video capturing system also includes a video segment capturing system that automatically captures the desired video segment of the external video program into digital form based on the start and stop frames captured by the frame capturing system. A method of accurately capturing a video segment from an external video program is also described.
