I am currently attempting to write a series of AREXX driven utilities
to interface and automate interaction between the Video Toaster and
the MiniVas single frame controller by Lyon Lamb. I have had success
in writing scripts to display pre-rendered images and record them.
I am currently attempting to read the MiniVas output to automate
accurate framegrabbing. This would enable grabbing a series of frames
from a video source for the purpose of animated image maps in Lightwave.

I am curious if anyone has attempted similar work with or without success.

Also it would be good to know if anyone would be interested in such 
utilities once I get a good package of them working.
