Your code defines a function PV, rather than an array (there may be
other problems as well, I have not tested it). Try:
PV=Table[ImageData[h[[i]]][[170, 101]][[1]]],{i,1,lFrames}]
Note that PV[i]=... defines a function.
PV[[i]]=... sets an element of an array stored in PV (but PV must
already be initialised with an array - e.g. using ConstantArray.
Finally, it seems rather strange to store pixel values in an XL file -
is there a reason for doing this, rather than writing them to a text
file (or even a binary file, for maximum speed). Exporting to XL will
certainly be slower, and if you are processing video, performance is
likely to be important!
