What it can do

VideoSummary makes a summary image of video data from a movie file by extracting some frame images and arranging them in one image data. You can save, print, copy and drag it. The source movie must be playable by QuickTime, such as QuickTime, AVI, MPEG-1, MPEG-4 and DVC format. A video clip captured from DV camcorder using iMovie and Final Cut Express/Pro can also be a source of this software. It is possible to make an image from a VOB file of video DVD with MPEG-2 Playback Component *, from a movie file of WMV format with Windows Media® Components for QuickTimeTM.

A simple editing function of the movie by cut and paste is also available.

* Notes on VOB files of video DVD:

  1. VOB files in a commercial DVD such as Hollywood films are usually difficult to be a source for this software because of protection.
  2. It cannot work correctly for a VOB file divided into some chapters. It is possible to process this type of data by transforming it using tools for extracting video and audio tracks or for converting movie format from MPEG-2 to QuickTime. Please try to search them on the net with keywords "MacOS, download, demux, mpeg2" and "MacOS, download, convert, mpeg2, QuickTime."
  3. It might takes more than some minutes to load a movie file when the playback duration is longer than 20 minutes.
