Newbie Help - Compiling Img Sequence to avi, with frame dely on each image?

[Jynks]

Hi there...

Not sure where to post this I hope someone can help. I am looking for (freeware / opensource if possible) for an application that can take a sequentially numbered image sequence and compile it into a video file using what ever installed codecs I have on my PC. To make it more complicated each individual image needs to be held on screen for a certain period of time... so each image IS NOT an individual frame.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Example: img0001-1000.jpg

How do I compile jpgs to 25fps XviD when each inidvidual image is paused for 1/2 a second before the next in the sequence is loaded?

Thanks for your help in advance

I recomend you to the Use AviSynth.

Example: img0001-1000.jpg

How do I compile jpgs to 25fps XviD when each inidvidual image is paused for 1/2 a second before the next in the sequence is loaded?

#Sample avs script
#It is necessary that the resolution of all images is the same.
ImageReader("your imagefoler\img%04d.jpg",1,1000)
SelectEvery(2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1)
AssumeFPS(25000,1000)

If this script is read with VirtualDub, and encoded, it is completion.

Thanks you but lik it says I am a newbie... I have Vdub and VdubMod.... how exactly do I use this script?

In Vdub mod there is "run script" - is this what you mean?

<--- edit

PS:- I have AVIsynth 2.5 installed... just no idea how to use it in vdubmod?

<---- Edit 2

Also.. I assume the SelectEvery(2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1)

Is the bit of code that dose the pause for 1/2 a second b4 next frame... but I can not understand it... How exactly is that doing it.. so I can change teh script to have less time or more time for each frame to be paused?

akkk.. that looks like spam all over my thread though it may be just that I can not read it.. if you are trying to help me thank you but I can not read that :(

Also... with AVISynth how can I add a image resize into it?

Resize -> 1280x720

<-- Edit

Ok I have gotten your script and worked out how to load it in VdubMod (open video file NOT script) and then I just applied the filters and encoded it as normal.

Everything worked great....

So now my question is....

How do I adjust teh length of time the frame is held.. would you please explain that SelectEvery line?

Thanks

Because I am not so good at English, it is not possible to teach to you any further in detail:(
Please asked other people or study the usage by yourself.

edit:
ChangeFPS is more comprehensible than Selectevery.
#Another sample avs script
#It is necessary that the resolution of all images is the same.
ImageReader("your imagefoler\img%04d.jpg",1,1000,2)
ChangeFPS(25000,1000)
The result almost becomes the same.

A "quick and dirty" method for VirtualDubMod:

If the images are named in sequential order (i.e. grab02840 through grab03076), just right-click the first one and select "Open with..." and select VirtualDub. They will all open in an image sequence at a default 29.97 fps. From there, click Video > Frame Rate... and under Source Rate adjustment, change to 2 fps, and under Frame rate conversion select convert to FPS: and enter 25, then save in your preferred format.
