Read Your Video: Storyboard is a user-designed service that converts videos and movies into PDFs that you can read on your various devices, e-readers, laptop, and etc. While its creator explains that the service was borne from an “insane” need to consume video without the audio and other trappings, I think it has a lot of potential for online art, memes, and other such creations that require high-quality screen captures (like the Seinfeld conversation on the left). You can learn how to use this service and subvert it for your own purposes here.
