R support for the 'FlyMovieFormat' video originally developed by Andrew Straw and colleagues, initially at Caltech. Presently this provides functions to read and parse the intial header of a 'fmf' file and then to read individual images frames and timestamp information. 'fmf' files are frequently used as intermediates for analysis of fly behaviour.
There are two FMF formats:
fmf A very simple uncompressed movie format.
ufmf Compressed format based on background subtraction that can provide very significant space savings.
