Hi,
You can use the VideoReader class to import .PTW files into MATLAB. Refer to this link for documentation and examples of using the VideoReader class:

Hi Sharif I had the same problem also using an SC5200 and I could not fint help anywhere. My solution was to export to ascii (.asc) and then use my own file reader to get the frames into matlab.
It is very basic, but something to build on if you need anything further.
I have also included a script that either exports a .jpg in case it is an image or a movie if it is a movie.
Hope it helps.
