If I recorded a video at 30 FPS for 0:4:12s and then extracted the frames from the video would I not then have 7,560 Frames? Or do frames get lost during conversion or anything?

When converting frame rates or line rates a lot of things can be lost. The main trick is to perform the conversion while not letting the loss be evident in the image.

I'm sorry, I guess what I mean was from the time I click "record" on the camera to "end" , save the video in the same bit rates, format, framerate, etc it was shot in and extracted the frames. Not doing any direct or indirect conversion, basically just taking a video with a cell phone and extracting the video from there... or does it loose frames somewhere in that process?

In something simple like that I would think not, but then again, I don't really know. Wait a while and I am sure you will see better qualified answers.

Hi B,
Have you heard of 29.97 rate, I think it's to do with colour, just a note.

Conversion from what to what?

Why are you thinking you would have anything other than 7,560 frames?

Most devices store video in a compressed format that is lossy, so there will be some information lost. How are you extracting the frames? Since the data is compressed, probably using MPEG, the data is not stored as a sequence of frames, but rather as information needed to reconstruct a close approximation to the frames at playback.
