Hey All, I'm looking for two types of utilities, preferably free/open source and
preferably one application stead of two.

1) Program to create a movie file from picture files and sound files. It would
be nice to have some basic automation ability, as well as features as choosing
frame rate, etc.

2) Program to strip a movie down to its individual frames and sound files/sound
track. Might be nice to be able to choose something like every 2 frames, every
4 frames, every 8 frames, etc.


Any suggestions?

-Jeff

AVIsynth will let you do both of those, but beware it's a kind of scripting 
language just like POV.

For 1) you would write something like:

video = ImageSource("frame%04d.png", start=0, end=1500, fps=25,pixel_type = 
"rgb24")
return video

and for 2) you can write: (to eg save 1st 100 frames to drive C)

video = DirectShowSource("existing video clip.mp4")
ImageWriter( video , "C:\" , 0 , 100 , type="jpg" )
