AFAIK AVIs can contain *anything* that you can express in RIFF format.
It's just a question of having the proper codec to read and interpret the
contents of the AVI.

I was actually referring to a standard codec being available on all systems
as it avoids compatibility problems and such. This suggests it would be
from Microsoft or being distributed by them. And it does not say much about
OS support for getting DV data to or from a DV camcorder and turning it into
an avi file instantly. Of course, it depends on what exactly is needed...

Microsoft includes a DV codec in all current builds (was it included with
DirectX 8), so an AVI file encoded for DV makes sense. I don't know how you
could call the codec from the command line, which might need to be done in
two passes: create an uncompressed AVI from your image sequence, then run
the codec on it.
Let me know if you come up with a solution.

You could use the following utility to create a raw avi and then mencoder
to convert it to DV avi (supposing you get the DV codec working with
mencoder, and why shouldn't you?):
http://oktober.stc.cx/source/animmaker.html
(There's an example there on how to create a DivX avi; should be obviously
simple to modify in order to create a DV avi instead.)

perhaps "transcode"
http://www.theorie.physik.uni-goettingen.de/~ostreich/transcode/html/modules.html
is the tool that you are looking for. Among a lot of other formats it can
read a list of images and write a DV-AVI-File.

You guess correctly - although the data need not have originated from
a DV camcorder.

A DV codec is included with DirectX 8 (not the best quality mind you,
but it does the job). Several video editing packages include a better
quality codec. Most of the codecs are for use with .avi files.

Quicktime also has a DV codec (licensed from Sorenson if I remember
correctly). This codec is for use with .mov files
The transfer to and capture from DV camcorders is a separate process
from the work the codec does. Most DV video editing packages include a
capture/transfer utility.

Hmm, I'm not sure it would be easy to do - mencoder seems to only
support the following:
mjpeg - Motion JPEG
h263 - H263
h263p - H263 Plus
mpeg4 - DivX4
msmpeg4 - the old DivX
msmpeg4v2 - Micro$oft MPEG4 V2 (DivX alias MP43 predecessor)
rv10 - an old RealVideo codec
mpeg1video - MPEG1 video :)
Cheers,
Scott

Aha, looking at mplayer site (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/) you
may be right! Isn't mencoder a linux util? Wasn't paul after a windoze
tool?
Dunno what to suggest ... <shrug>

He didn't say which system he wanted to program to.
Even though usually in this case it means "I want it for Windows", the
keywords 'command line tool' and 'perl' made me think that he wanted it
for linux.
