Capturing CD+G

I have access to over 3000 karaoke songs on the typical format, CD+G, G standing for graphics. There is an excellent explanation of this data system here.

It appears that the words are ACTUALLY a video that is compressed and hidden in the available stream on regular CDs. This means that for me to translate the files into the madlib karaoke format, I will need to take the ripped video file, place it in a video editor, and get the time points for each new line.

It would be great to find some video analysis software that does video-to-text, but I don't know of any that exists :(
