911101 - how to make an h264 video from jpeg files?

[hamidi2]

hi
i've some jpeg files. i want to put them into sequence in an h264 video. i don't know what the best method for this purpose. i don't want to use an application for this purpose. the environment is Linux (Ubuntu 10.10). i think the best method is to use ffmpeg library. but i don't know what's the easiest and the most straightforward method.
please help me
thx

most straightforward method is probably using x264 itself assuming it is compiled with lavf support,..

x264.exe --crf 18 --fps 24 --input-res 1920x1080 --input-csp rgb -o "crf18.mkv" "pics/big_buck_bunny_%05d.png"

should work,...

thanks for replying
first, i was looking for a method in Linux from within my prog.
then, i couldn't succeed.
the error is:
ffms [error]: could not create index
lavf [error]: could not open input file
x264 [error]: could not open input file `capture-%05d.png' via any method!

Thread moved to the Linux forum where you can get more help.

What were the name of your images?

were they in this format?

capture-00001.png
capture-00002.png

?

Did you specify the correct path ?

[hamidi2]

yes, at first the names were 001-capture.jpg to 039-capture.jpg, but after it didn't work, i tried postfixing numbers. but it still doesn't work.

post how your files are named and how your call now looks like.
