So happy for having found a working download site for cmpeg I wanted to
torus01.tga instead of torus1.tga as first frame. Isolved the problem by
using frame 10 as Initial_frame Is there a different possibility to get
around this? This was only half of the Problem though, because Iget the
Message "16 and 24 bit Targa only" HeHe as far as I know does Povray produce
24-bit targas at least with th +ft switch turned on !
????!???
thanks for any help

You can get Cmpeg to work best by using the -t0 switch and using a
filename parameter like this for example:
cmpeg -t0 -v0 -f2 ipb.ctl c:\WhereFramesAre\frame%03d.tga
c:\WhereAnimationsAre\animated.mpg
The %03 (d is required) tells it to do a 3 digit set of frame numbers
left padded by zeroes starting with 000, with verbose messaging off,
frame speed 24/sec, and control file ipb.
Output uncompressed targas only from POV-Ray (+FT or
Output_File_Type=T); or batch convert them if you can, also as
uncompressed (see your options), if you use another format.
The Cmpeg DOC says 15bit or 24bit, not 16bit (typo?). I've always used
24bit.

I think it also requires that the TGA files be uncompressed.

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.

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?-)
