read AVI string in matlab

[researchIC]

I have saved string data in an AVI file with ''IMAQ AVI Write Frame". I have checked the saved data in Labview and when I read this AVI file with "AVI read data" it is possible to read the sting.

However, I want to read the data into Matlab and cannot find a way to extract the string data from the AVI file. AVI data can be read with 'VideoReader', but this doesn't read the string data. Does anybody knows a method to read the string data into matlab?

If anyone can help me it would be really great!

Dear researchIC,

I do not know what are the possibilities in Matlab to deal with AVI file.

However, what I can tell you is that the data which is included in the file with the "IMAQ AVI Write Frame" is not encrypted or anything. It is simply included in a standard data stream of the AVI file. It is then potentialy possible to read back the data in a third-party application.

The best advice I can give you is then to inform you about the AVI file format and see how you can retrieve the information contained in a stream.
