Hi all I need a little help with a project, and I hope this is the right place to post this. I'm writing a batch script in Perl that takes a list of avi files, combines them in an avs file and then joins them all together in a file that can be played in Quicktime.
I've gotten this almost all to work except the playing in quicktime part. I've been futzing around with FFMPEG but every output file I create only plays sound and not video for me in Quicktime 7. I'm a big noob when it comes to video codecs and video editing (I'm a programmer by trade) so this is all kind of baffling to me.
My only requirements for this project are that I need it to be command line executable (the overall project has a MEL front end with a perl back end) and that the final output file has to be playable in Quicktime. I've made playable output for WMP/VLC but my boss wants Quicktime. Also the fewer things to be installed the better simply because this tool will be used by an entire department and so having to install stuff a bunch of times would suck.
Thanks in advance!
