I need some help. I've gotten POV to output my images in .tga format, then
I converted to an AVI. This much worked, though the AVI was big (15 MB for
70 320x240 frames). I looked around for an MPG1 encoder, but couldn't find
one that worked with .tga files, or required lots of parameters I didn't
know how to set (I'm fairly new to this animation thing) Finally, I found
an avi2mpg1 encoder, and this worked, but all the blues in the image have
become red!?
So, anyone seen this before and know how to correct it? Barring that,
anyone know of a good encoder that a newbie like me can figure out? I'd
like to have a animation that doesn't eat disk space.

You don't say which encoder you're using, but if you're not already,
I recomend using TMPGenc...
http://www.tmpgenc.com/e_main.html
Easy to use, yet highly configurable. Might solve your problem.
Hope this helps,

Are you using Windows?
If so, try VideoMach at www.gromada.com. It's free for non-commercial use.

But... a bit buggy still- especially as ragrds
TGA's and sound. I'd stick to AVI2MPG for now,
CMPEG is used a lot but it's not fun to use at
all. I used AVI2MPG on my IRTC entry and got a
200MB+ uncompressed AVI down to 5MPG with stereo
sound and liked the quality a lot- 1800 frames or
so.

Yeah, but ask yourself... why are you really
interested?

Sander's (a povray newsgroup attendee) Cmpeg front-end makes it a little more
fun. Can be run from Windows instead of DOS and is fairly straightforward,
even has animation preview. CMPEG being limited in frame resolution is the
main drawback to it, only MPEG1 files made too, but very compatible with
players it seems.
http://stols.net/ then the CMPG63M link there.
I still use my batch file to run CMPEG in DOS to make the small animations I
do. Makes web-friendly files.

Try getting Videomach from http://www.gromada.com (I'm assuming you're
using win9x here)
As far as I understand it, it's free for personal, non-commercial use,
and it will read in your raw .tga's and write out whatever format you
have the codec for.
Hope this was some use.
Bye for now,
Jamie.

Good pointer. Thanks.
Upon downloading, I found that it only takes uncompressed image files. Ick.
I've written a .PNG reader plugin for tmpgenc. If anyone else wants a copy of
it, just let me know.

could you post it to this news server, to the author of tmpgenc or put it
somwhere on the net ?

That could be really useful, since tgas are rather large. Whatever you do,
could you send me a copy?
