Image Sequences inside one file

[fantcc]

Hi,

I have been experimenting with image sequences, and it works very well to make that available to virtual dub via an .avs file.
But I wasn't able to find a solution for the following problem:

I have several 'jpeg streams' which consist of concatenated jpeg files (no mjpeg, just one jpeg file after another). What I'm trying to do is to make those files available to vdub, that I can convert them to xvid.
One solution is extracting all jpegs from the stream files and then do the job via avisynth's ImageReader.
But this is very annoying with like 100 files containing 5000 pics each.

Is there any way to read/import those jpeg streams with virtualdub with the help of avisynth or any other tool?

Does nobody have an idea?

I would write a plugin for avisynth myself, but I'm not familiar with VC++ :( Perhaps there an option to use Java for a plugin?

If you can programm you can avoid repetive manual tasks.
Use a file renaming tool and rename your streams
to something like stream0001, stream00002, .....

Convert them to single pics following this naming scheme.

Then create/render by code the equivalent avs scripts
loading the pics and feed them to vdub.

It should be possible to put all tasks into one batch.
There are some very useful batch files here in this
forum, they may give you some inspiration.
