Will someone please tell me how I can convert a series of numbered .bmp
images to ANY video format??? After looking around this newsgroup I've seen
several suggestions to use either virtualdub or tmpge.
I've downloaded them both, but I can't figure out how to actually create
video from a collection of images.
The virtualdub help file says that telling people how to make videos got to
be too much trouble for the author, so he's stopped doing that (THANKS). I
didn't find anything else useful in the help files.
TMPGE doesn't even have a help file (it's greyed out in the menu). The
website only says that it's for converting .avi to .mpg.
What's a newbie to do??
Any help you can give is much appreciated!!

If I'm not using something like Adobe Premiere, I usually use pjBmp2Avi, a
simple little program that converts bmp or tga images to an avi. You can
usually take the output of this and run it through tmpgenc.
I'll post it in povray.binaries.utilities to save you the trouble of finding
it (I can't even find it myself anymore).
There seem to be a few other X-to-avi programs in p.b.u, by the way.

With TMpegEnc, simply load the first image of the series into the "Video
source". Under "Setting" you can select the MPG Layer (I've only got 1 and
2, and 2 is disabled after a while) and set up things like resolution,
bandwidth etc. Then you press "Start" and the MPG is created.
For other encodings, you can also hit File->Output to File->AVI and select
an Encoder there, which you have to set up then (but it normally memorizes
the settings, that is to say, the encoder usually memorizes your last
settings).
That's all I've ever been doing.

Tim

I don't see why it's so difficult.
In virtualdub (or virtualdubmod, which seems to be more modern) just
select File -> Open video file ... and then in the "files of type"
dropdown menu you can select "Image sequence" to list just the image
files. Then just open the first image in the sequence and virtualdub
will open them all.

My difficulty springs from the fact that I do not consider a sequence of
image files to be a single video file yet.
I never saw the "Image sequence" option in the dropdown list of the "Open
video file" window because I wasn't trying to open a video file--I was
trying to open a sequence of individual image files and convert them into a
video file.
Ah, the follies of the new guy...oh well.
Thanks for your helpful (if sardonic) reply!

Sometimes you have to see past the deficiencies of a badly designed GUI
and use logic to find what you are looking for.
