tallkien Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 I'm having trouble creating avi's on Gentoo. mcp (avi) gives me the help menuand says avi not supported , hmv won't playback, OGL issues, blah blah I have emerged cinelerra and avidemux 0.9 but don't know how to load sequential files usefully. How do you guys make your movies? thanks tallkien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallkien Posted September 23, 2003 Author Share Posted September 23, 2003 Ok, I managed to get animmaker and mencoder to work just fine albeit only with uncompressed tga files. Still would like to know what tools some of you guys use thanks tallkien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 Since .avi's are a Windows format, I use Windows to create them. As for Linux, a search on http://freshmeat.net found this: http://cpbotha.net/im2avi.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallkien Posted September 24, 2003 Author Share Posted September 24, 2003 I had problems compiling im2avi so I tried animmaker,(Portage can spoil the average Tux-er) . Will have another go at it when I have time. I need to create an avi because the demo i'm making needs to be viewed on a windows machine or I'll have to make a vcd which will be my next linux endeavour. Mencoder Rocks btw. Thanks anyway edward, much appreciated So if you linux users don't create avi's, what do you do? tallkien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Create mpeg's using ffmpeg maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cytrox Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 If you don't mind using a command line tool, you should also give transcode a try. It uses ImageMagick to read image files, so you should be able to combine most image formats into the movie format of your choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pirani1 Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 There are many options you can try: 1--Render out .jpg or .tiff images. Compile the program kjpeg2av, load the sequence and you'll get a ready to use avi file. This is the simpler choice. You have no possibility to load audio and merge it. 2-- You can use Cinelerra for loading the sequences of images (.jpeg or .tiff). Remember to use the option : "Paste at insertion point" in pull down menu of the open file window. With this great app you can add audio track (.mp3, .ogg, .wave), applying audio-video effects and finally render out as mpeg-1-2 (no audio) or MSFT Avi (with audio) or quicktime 3--Command line tools. I prefer mjpegtools. You can convert a sequence of .jpg or .tiff to .yuv and .m1v or m2v. It's a little bit complicated but with this tools you can merge audio file modified from Halo or Shake and obtain an SVCD or DVD file ready to burn on your CD or DVD.
