Android Question Convert set of camera images to video.

[canalrun]

Hello,
I am capturing preview images, one frame per second, as JPEG's from the camera. Is there a way to convert this set of JPEG's to a video file in some format that is playable on a Windows or Android device?

Thanks,
Barry.

I don't think that there is any library available that will convert a set of images to a video file.

Thanks for your reply. I think you are correct.

Searching the B4A forms and Internet I have found a few names: ffMPEG is mentioned often. I believe this library may be used within Vitamio, but everyone seems to conclude with "doesn't work on Android" or "it's hardware specific". The Google Play Store has a couple interesting items. I'll have to keep my eyes open.

You can use a program called GraphicsGale FreeEdition. It can take a set of JPEG files (or png, bmp) and convert these to an avi format which the Android system can play. It's a very useful program as it can make sprite sheets, separate sprite sheets into individual pictures, and much more.

Thanks. I was hoping for a library, compatible with android, to access from within my application. An animated JPEG might be something to look at.

I see.....Erel would surely know of anything compatible with android. The software I mentioned is Windows compatible, but extremely functional.
