ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to reversing the trend in conventional video printing by providing a cost-effective, flexible device which is independent of the printing device such that it can be used with any conventional computer printing device to provide plain paper prints of video images. By focusing on optimizing cost-effectiveness and system flexibility rather than providing high resolution photographic quality prints, the present invention can provide video printing features never before realized. Generally speaking, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for processing an input video data stream by selecting at least a portion of a frame of the input video data stream as printable image data, and by processing the selected a frame to correlate the frame to said input video data stream using at least one identifier. Further, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for processing an input video data stream by storing at least a portion of a frame of the input video data stream as printable image data, and by processing the printable image data to automatically reposition the frame on a printable medium.
