Hi!
Is there any plugin that can make Vdub take bookmarks of video positions and text comments?
I'm a soccer coach at U-18 and I use vdub to see videos, because it's the smoothest video player, for instance on frame step forward and frame step back continuously, no doubt.
But I would like to take a bookmark of video positions and make a comment, then i could show to my player the right positions of something interesting in the video like their nice moments or their erros on the game.
I'm talking for instance on as separate form that could be used simultaneously with the vdub main form, where I could just clik and add bookmark, and the video could still go on without pauses, and the bookmarks itself would be links to the video position.
If there is not such thing, that I think it's not, is tehre anybody with the interest in making this, tah I think besides being great for me would be great add for the application? that would savea lot of work
Otherwise, can this funtions be scriptable? At least capturing the actual frame andd making a jump to it?
The last alternative would be myself making this but I don't know C or Assembly, I only know VB:P
Any help would be great. Thank for the reply smile.gif

What about using subtitles for adding comments at special video-sequences?
Maybe as a workaround...

During the preparation, you could write down the frame numbers of interesting scenes (either as text file in notepad or on piece of paper) and then, during the presentation, use Ctrl-G (go to frame). With little practice you could get pretty fast (Ctrl-C in Notepad, Ctrl-G + Ctrl-V in VirtualDub).

I know, not quite what you're after, but I think it's close.

Thanks for the reply, that are doable workarounds.
Well maybe 2 yearsfrom nowI will tryto learn C to code this tongue.gif
But GOTO frame is a possibility

bookmarks/markers would be immensely useful - every decent video/audio editing app has such a feature.

I'd also be very interested in a bookmark-feature.
Especially, since I'm dealing with tons of video-archive material, and was recently looking for a standard format to exchange that kind of information across multiple applications.

Unfortunately, there is no real standard for bookmarks/markers.
It would be great to have a file format to save/load them to/from. The closest "most widely used" format I've found was Matroska's chapter information, with MKVMerge supporting an XML format, based on these specifications.

If VirtualDub was to have bookmark/marker support, it might be a nice thing to also support reading/writing of these XMLs, as it seems to currently be the most interoperable file-format for this job smile.gif
