| Depending on how it is captured it might be easier to do timelapse (take a frame every 30 seconds and it gives you 2 minutes of footage over 24 hours when played back at normal speed)..
some video cameras have this feature. Alternatively some capture systems have it (if the laptop is plugged into the camera) they can control the camera via firewire taking the frames when told to at specific intervals.
If the footage comes from the system itself (internal recording) then this may not be an option.
I assumed 25fps in the above example, I may be wrong, but you will not find it easy to speed up the footage to 750x (my maths may be wrong) normal speed, extracting frames from the original footage is the other option.
Havent done timelapse since I used a super 8 camera though....
