scene detection is a tool to automatically detect scene changes in pre-recorded video and generate automatic chapter markers for quick navigation

scene detection is written in Java and relies on a somewhat modified version of Dan O’Sullivan’s vxp library for pixel-level video access.

The current implementation is extreme alpha, and requires a lot of improvements to both the scene detection algorithm, as well as the user interface. If you’d like to experiment with it, here’s the source as well as some pre-compiled binaries:
