I am not sure what exactly you mean by sequence, but I will assume "scene"=

or "shot" for now.

What text file format? If XML, what schema? Lack of definition leads me to=
=20
believe you can just do this manually with a text editor right now.
Also, by "frames" I think you mean frame number--please confirm.

Kino does scene detection in two ways: using the DV new-shot flag and by=20
timecode discontinuity >1 second. However, the DV new-shot flag is only use=
d=20
for choosing when to start a new file during capture. The scene detection o=
n=20
loading a file from the filesystem uses timecode discontinuity. Despite the=
=20
differences, I think it ought to work for you.

This is not anything you can do right now in the GUI or on command line. Wh=
at=20
you can do right now is to load a clip into Kino and hope it detects your=20
scenes. Then, open the Properies panel at the bottom of the window. Next,=20
click the Time format option menu and choose Frames. Click a scene or jump =
to=20
a frame, then copy the frame number and the DV Recording Date in the=20
Properties panel to a text editor.
If you want something more automated, then you need to be more specific abo=
ut=20
the text format and the heuristic for deciding which frames upon which to=20
report (e.g., scene detection).=20
