Inserting image at start of video clip

[VanZan]

How can I insert a simple jpg at the start of a video clip? e.g something that has my user id on it to prove I made the clip? The clip is an avi

Thanks

Use Avisynth to create an avi of the jpeg. Then append your avi to the new (jpeg) avi, using virtual dub or avisynth or some other editor.

Thanks..I know about appending avi's with Vdub but didn't know that you can make an avi of a jpg....cheers

I looks like "ImageReader" just reads images into
video frames one at a time.

Do you know how to make Avisynth
produce a still clip from just 1 image ?

There might be a way to do it by recursively calling
RepeatFrame but i dunno.

Avisynth 2.5.2 and image reader worked great for one of my .bmp files however with the second one it wouldn't compress to DivX 4.12.

I keep getting "the source image format is not acceptable"...this seems to be only the case when compressing with DivX, as an uncompressed file it saves fine

PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!

If you mean you want it to be longer than 1 frame, use loop()

something like ImageReader("c:\file%d.jpg", 0, 1, 30, false).loop(1800)
would give you 1 min of 30fps.

I'm no expert. Easy to experiment.

I don't do divX. My guess would be framerate. Could change that in avisynth or vdub. You could also use avisynth to create a 1 frame blank clip (specifying your divx clip as a model), and then layer the image clip on it, then loop. That should give you a clip with the same properties of the Divx one.

I guess I can't read
I didn't know there was a Loop()
I looked at the docs again and it was, Thanks
