Greetings, I use the following command to invoke mencoder to compile a series of TGA image files into an animation : mencoder -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vme=1:keyint=30:vbitrate=1000 -vf scale=800:600 -noskip -mf type=tga:fps=30 -o avs-001.avi mf://*.tga (Sorry about the line breaks.) The problem starts with the "mf://*.tga" part of the command. When the AVSynthesis program creates its TGA images it saves and labels them sequenctially, i.e. 1.tga, 2.tga, 3.tga and so on, as expected. The problem is that mencoder reads the files as they would be returned by a plain ls command, i.e. 1.tga, 10.tga, 100.tga, 1000.tga, 1001.tga ...101.tga, 1010.tga, thus interpolating frames out of their correct order. So, my question is, how do I get mencoder to read the TGA files by their time of creation ? That should do the trick, yes ? Otherwise I have to separate the single digit files from the double digit files and so forth, then I have to create and join separate AVIs. Not terribly difficult, just really annoying and time-consuming. Any suggestions ? Any mencoder users out there ? Also, what do you use in place of mencoder on a 64-bit system ? (It's not available for 64 Studio.) Best, dp _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
