Masters frame grabs (Phil at 15 included)
« on: April 04, 2012, 08:56:30 PM »
I can't compete with Mac and having on course access.   ;)  But I'm computer savvy.  [method of obtaining these at the end]

Here are some frame grabs from the par 3 contest that was not completed, I think, due to rain (love the pics of the Big Three):











Gotta love The King sporting Augusta National shirt and hat!



Details of the frame grab:  used a Mac Mini (OS X 10.5) connected by firewire cable to my Motorola cable box.  FireRecord acts as the front end for the AVCVideoCap.  The resulting .m2t file (they get very large!) is played back using VLC 2.0.1.  Frame grabs are an easy keystroke.  I believe ESPN broadcasts in 720p, unlike CBS over the weekend which is 1080i.

Maybe more later.

Joe, Thanks for the lessons. Any chance you could back up a bit, and start with a 101 level course?

I've been impressed with your abilities ever since Kiawah, when you had the slide show on your iPad.

Adam, I know how to do this stuff on a Mac, but have no experience on a PC.

Note:  if you have Mac, no extra software purchase is needed to do this. 

Here is a pretty good summary of what needs to be done:

Here's hoping the Big Three are around as long or longer than the venerable triumvirate of Snead, Nelson and Sarazen.

I dvr'd yesterday, was bummed it got rained out, but I'm generally unimpressed with Augusta's par 3 course. Maybe those greens are more impressive in person, but there doesn't appear to be much variety on the tube.

Pretty easy to do screen grabs from the Masters website:



On a PC, you just have the live feed on the website open, then hit CTRL+PRINT SCREEN together when there's something you want to grab. Import that into a paint type program (Photoshop is the AP of image editing), save it, upload it to your host site, etc etc. Not as crisp as Joe's pics, but then what are? :)

Thought this was an interesting shot of Tiger's 2nd on 13, from an unusual angle that illustrates the slope of the fairway well. Shot result? Hit slightly long, released, rolled over the green into the back bunker.

George:

I was thinking the same thing; just tuned into the live webcast. Tiger looked like he just knew he couldn't hold that shot on the green from that lie, and he really seemed to be waiting out the wind before the shot.

George, those are very nice frame grabs.  Thanks for the knowledge.

Just got back from some golf myself and have started to watch the 1st round.

Some early frame grabs:



Henrik hit this ball right on the forehead on his 2nd on 18:



Tiger teeing off on the 17th:

Thanks, Joe! I've had Super Bowl XLIII and Game 7 Pens/Wings clogging up my DVR for several years now, been wondering how to record them and get them off!!

I'm not entirely sure I will be able to delete them, even if I can record them...

Joe,  Excellent stills of historic moments...neat stuff. Thank you.

George P.
Apropos The Big Three as  you describe them the original (?) holy trinity at the turn of the 19th. century was The Triumvirate ( not of The Masters admittedly) of Braid, Taylor and Vardon.

Then in the 20th. century there was Snead, Nelson and Sarazen

Followed by, in the the 21st. century Palmer, Player and Nicklaus.

Who do you think will be next in the dynasty? My guess is Watson, Couples and Crenshaw.

And then....?

Cheers Colin
