Hello,
You can easily use R to transfer your data and process it. For example, I
use the tracking plug-in TrackMate which give a lot of data, and what I do
is I just select the Track ID, X and Y positions and time using data.table.
Here is my sample code:

##name the file into s1
library (data.table)

##direct input from trackmate
NT=data.table(s1, key="TRACK_ID")
NT=NT[, list(A=TRACK_ID, X=POSITION_X, Y=POSITION_Y, T=FRAME),
by=c("TRACK_ID")]
s1a= NT[order(A, T)]
s1=s1a[,list(T=T, X=X, Y=Y, V=c(0, sqrt(diff(X)^2+diff(Y)^2))), by=c("A")]

and then just use write.table to save it:
write.table (s1, "the directory where you want to save it.csv",
             sep=";", col.names=T, row.names=F)

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Karen
