Are you sure that Octave is the best tool for the task (maybe it is. I
don't know it very well). I'd just use ffmpeg (or mencoder or such) to
create many .jpg files from viedeo. Then I'd try using an existing ocr
solution which outputs .svg files.. (Inkscape has a built in OCR
command. This could be a starting point.)

Good luck.
