[META] CES Microsoft Keynote

Well, thanks to Raiden's screenshot, I have been able to all of that text (minus three words). Here it is:

"An audience of general spectators and key players arrive at the Bellagio Hotel on Monday night around 6pm and wait alongside the [something] in anticipation of something significant to take place. The general public will not be aware that something unusual is about to take place but the community will have deciphered the countdown and the precise time and showing location for this spectacular event. The famous Bellagio Fountains (Lake Bellagio), are renouned as the [something] [something] of Las Vegas are about to reveal the global challenge and deliver the first set of visual clues in a way no-one has seen before. Of course, there is still one big suprise they won't see coming. Countdown hits zero at exactly 6:30pm. I look left to right, scanning the audience.

Lights and music turn off (fountains stay on). Two more water curtains rise on the left and right side of the original curtains. As these curtains rise, they fill with multiple clocks and the sound of the original clock multiplies by hundreds revealing... (view full production notes).

If you're trying to get a photo from a video try using TMPGEnc 2.524. You can output a video frame for frame as photos in .bmp, .ppm, .tga, or .jpg formats. By the way this software is totally free, the only thing you would have to pay for is after the trial for mpg2 encoding expires. Other then that it's totally free and fully functional.
