Situation - long video (over 4 hours), which has graphic text (example - http://oi60.tinypic.com/11jm7tl.jpg ).
Need - script, which extract text from video as in text file in format like that: "time (HH.MM.SS.MS)| frame - text"
I found a video on youtube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QZ9SFJmxBk - but without any link to the script.
Reason - translation practice, but writing and select by screenshots myself is problematic and waste much time.

Sounds like you have a good idea of what you want your code to do. This isn't a code for hire site, but if you have specific questions we can help you.
How about taking a look at the documentation for converting between images and video and have a look at the Matlab file exchange for optical character recognition.

If you've got R2014a and the Computer Vision System Toolbox, you can use the ocr function.

Thanks, though, but sorry guys - I dont a programmer, coder and dont have much time for discovering what I should do myself.
I know what I want and know what someone already did it(see youtube video - script is long and difficult, as I can understand).
Hope for understanding.
