ImageReader Question

[Coon_Dog]

I am looking for some help on the ImageReader function. What I have is a directory of images from my camera names IMG###.jpg.

What I am looking for is 1 fps for 3 frames each. Then I can set my encoder to keyframe every 3 seconds for very a very small file. Sending this to family.

Also what would be better, resize to 640*480 in AviSynth or in the encoder?

Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks.

You have to rename them to img000.jpg, img001.jpg, etc.

ImageReader("c:\%03d.jpg", 0, end, 1, false)

end = # images - 1

Also what would be better, resize to 640*480 in AviSynth or in the encoder?
What you prefer. However, if you want the best quality, you should resize them in an image editor.

Am I wrong in thinking that would give me 1 frame per file, where I am looking for 3 frames per file?

If you really want to triple the frames, then do what Wilbert said, and then follow it with:SelectEvery(1, 0, 0, 0)
