SoCal:
That is exactly right. It is a very useful way to figure out release times and pop times.

In fact, if you have Tivo, you can do it for game situations. I've done it many times to see what the actual game pop times are for MLB catchers.

Guy steals a base, just rewind and play it back frame by frame, and start counting. I've done it for about a dozen guys in MLB. Game pops have all been right around 2.0.

I think the frame-by-frame approach to measuring time is far more accurate than stopwatch for short-duration measures such as pop time (and especially release time.)
