Ive used this FAQ as a good reference: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ffmpeg.org/faq.html">http://www.ffmpeg.org/faq.html</a> Ive got past the bit where I reliased I needed to rename my files in sequential order and produced a mpg file, covered here <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ffmpeg.org/faq.html#SEC14">http://www.ffmpeg.org/faq.html#SEC14</a> I got a couple of questions: 1. the syntax using the "%d" would I be right in saying that pic%06d,jpg means any file from pic000001.jpg through to and including pic999999.jpg? 2. The mpg output seems to have a fixed frame rate, if I use another frame rate with the -vcodec option for example -vcodec mpeg4, how do i specify the frame rate? 3. What other methods has anyone used? Are there better suggestions or is ffmpeg the best package to use? Thanks -Mark </body> </html>
