Might this have some impact on analysis? I'm trying to break acceleration and velocity into x and y components (to measure curvature) using the magnitude of velocity and acceleration multiplied by either the sin or cos of orientation angle (in addition to the problem of not ahving figured out where 0 degree orientation is, i.e. whether it is North or East).But the combination of ambiguous flipping + ambiguous phase shift of orientation angle shouldn't affect calculations of curvature, right? (I'm using the relation K = || r'(t) x r''(t) || / ||(r't(3))^3||, where x is the cross product.)

Hi John,
Ctrax appears to do some amount of vertical (upside down) flipping -- for both movies and trajectories -- and this flipping depends on the input video format! Here what I found:
* compressed movies (M-JPEG, Microsoft Video 1): open non-flipped in Ctrax, y values in MAT-file are flipped
* uncompressed movies (created w/ VirtualDub): open flipped in Ctrax, y values in MAT-file are non-flipped
While there are easy workarounds (e.g., flip movie with VirtualDub etc.), it may be good to add this as a low-priority ticket. (I looked into this after my MATLAB script to analyze trajectories produced strange results after I changed from uncompressed to compressed movies.)
My guess is (have not looked at code) that the reader for uncompressed movies incorrectly flips, and then another flip was added to correct the reader flip before the MAT-file is written.
Thanks,
Uli

1. the reader for uncompressed movies (which is non-third-party code as far as I recall) flips. As a result, uncompressed movies are displayed flipped in Ctrax. But I have tried only uncompressed movies created by VirtualDub, so I am not sure whether this applies in general to uncompressed movies.
2. the trajectories are likely always (compressed and uncompressed) flipped before they written to the MAT-files, but this problem is hidden in case of uncompressed movies because of 1. (The two flips cancel each other for uncompressed movies.)
