Thanks for pointing those out. I searched the FileExchange for similar functions before posting newmf.m, but InsertHeader (which does not do quite the same thing) was the only one I found. I guess I didn't look hard enough.

See my comment on Nov.8, 2011.

I've written a program that uses mmread() to count the number of frames in a .asf video without reading in the whole file (http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/33885-mmcount-m). This way, it is possible to read in just the first and last frames of a file without worrying about running out of memory; it is also much faster than reading in the whole file.

I've given mmread() a rating of 4; the only reason it isn't a 5 is that it is missing this functionality. Hopefully it will be added sometime soon, and I'll be able to retire mmcount().

Hi Nor, are you connecting two Matlab sessions together or trying to connect Matlab with some other software? Are you on Windows? Mac? Linux? What error message do you get when you fail to make a connection?

Probably the easiest way to play with jtcp.m is to get two Matlab sessions running on one computer (assuming your licence permits it). Assign one session the role of "client" and the other the role of "server and follow the example code in jtcp.m's help, with "client" lines being executed in the client session and the "server" lines being executed in the server session. EXECUTE THE LINES IN THE ORDER SHOWN IN THE HELP EXAMPLES. You can substitute a higher value than 2000 milliseconds for the timeout, if that makes things easier. I have used port 21566 in the examples; this port will have to be open in your firewall, or the firewall turned off.
Kevin.
