yes thanks Bob for the digits hint. My other Problem still exists. Pov

24 or 16 bit only error. If I convert them to 24bit uncompressed again cmpeg

Are you using a starting frame number of 0, as in frame000? Cmpeg will
complain if using 001. Set your POV-Ray animation output INI to say
Initial_Frame=0 if not yet done so (and Final_Frame=99 if for 100
frames).

You can also use a list file to supply the frames, instead of trying the
patterns.  This allows you to start from a frame other than frame 0,
delete frames in the sequence, use frames over and over, etc.

I use it for test renders, for shots mid-way in my animations.

To use it, simply, edit a text file with all of the names of the frame
files in it, such as:

frame001.tga
frame002.tga
frame003.tga

...

You can use any frames in any order, as long as they are all the same
image size.  This file gets fed to CMPEG like so:

  cmpeg -v1 -f2 ipb.ctl listfile.lst myanim.mpg

Note that the -t0 switch is not used.

Hope this helps,
John

Matthias,

My suggestion:

Use Fast Movie Processor from www.gromada.com to compile your stills into an
uncompressed AVI, then use AVI2MPG.EXE to convert to mpeg. Works great.

I've got a copy of AVI2MPG.EXE if you can't find it elswhere.

Andy

I have the same problem with cmpeg not reading my tga's. I hate that.
I have to convert all the images to raw format first.
  Isn't there any better mpeg encoder?

You could of course look to my links page for alternative program options.
I have a few mpeg resources listed in the animation section.

This must be a VFAQ: How can you answer so fast to the articles?-)
