I'm programming an application that will allow you to take images and change them into an avi file. I've seen this done b4, but I've got a few new features that I'm wanting to implement. I do have a working copy of this program, but I have to put exact values for everything in it. There is no error checking as of yet, because I cannot figure some of this stuff out. I'm programming it all in plain old C. What I need help doing is...
1.) Resizing graphics. If I put a 250 X 250 graphic into this program I want the program to be able to output the graphic to the size I set in options. Say 720 X 480.
2.) Combining different graphics in layers. I want to be able to make an underlay and overlay image option. That way a user can add a graphic on top, or underneath each image in the avi file.
3.) Interlacing. I don't know how to do this and I haven't seen any program code that will help me figure it out.
4.) Frame rate conversion. I can output at any framerate I desire right now, but I need to be able to convert to other framerates for encoding into dvd compatible m2v files.
5.) Loading different graphic file types. Right now, I can only load bitmaps that are 24bits and are not rle encoded. I would like to be able to add all the popular formats, such as jpeg, gif...
Any help would be appreciated with this. If you know of or have source code in "C" that would be best, but even if it is in VB or C++, I still might be able to figure out how to do the equivalent in C. This program will be freeware when I'm done, and I will post it here so anyone can download it. I don't know much about sourceforge or I might start something there, and then I might even be able to get more help with this. Thanks in advance. :)
