How do I join JPG images to creat an AVI file

[forensic]

I have 30 JPG images taken from the same view point at different times. The images are named IMAGE-001.JPG, IMAGE-002.JPG, IMAGE-003.JPG,,, IMAGE-030.JPG
How can I join these images to create an AVI file? I have VirtualDubMod and AVISYNTH, but do not know the script or command to join them. Or do I need to use something else?
Thank you.

And there should be a copy of the AVS documentation
sleeping somewhere on your hard drive.

VirtualDubMod can open them directly. File -> Open Video File, then select the first image. It will automatically append seqencially numbered images.

Midzuki, Do you know the AVISynth script to load a range of images into one continuos file?
Jagabo, VirtualMod only loads two images and then stops. I appreciate the suggestion. Is there something else I should try?
NOTE: All the JPG images are the exact same dimension (48x60 pixels) and are the only thing in the directory (Windows-XP).

That's weird, VirtualDubMod works for me as jagabo suggested

Avidemux can load images too, but you have to manually append them. If you have 30 it's not that bad i guess. You might want to change the frame rate from 30 to something else.

Then there is something wrong. Is the third file numbered sequentially? Does it have the same number of digits? Try starting with the fourth image. Does it load all the rest? I've used VirtualDubMod like this many times before.

AviSynth's image reading functions are ImageReader() and ImageSource(). See the documentation for their useage details. In your case it will be something like:

ImageSource("C:\Path to files\IMAGE-%03d.JPG", 1, 30, 23.9076)

The %03d means the file names will be 3 digit (the 3) decimal (the d) numbers with leading zeros (the 0).

If VirtualDubMod had a problem with the sequence AviSynth probably will too.

Thank you for your help.

ImageSource("C:\TEST\Untitled-%03d.jpg", 100, 103, 23.9076)

What ever number I have as the first image ("Untitled-100.jpg" in this example), AVIsynth loads that first image twice and no other images. What could be wrong?

That should load:

C:\TEST\Untitled-100.jpg
C:\TEST\Untitled-101.jpg
C:\TEST\Untitled-102.jpg
C:\TEST\Untitled-103.jpg

Each frame should appear once, and the frame rate should be 23.976 fps. Try adding info=true to the command to see the filenames (stamped onto each frame). The documentation states that black frames are added if a file isn't found. I verified this and also found that a black frame was substituted if a frame of another size was found.

ImageSource("C:\TEST\Untitled-%03d.jpg", 100, 103, 23.9076, info=true)

What are you using to view the results? If you aren't already, use VirtualDubMod so you can step through the images frame by frame.

Problem solved.

I forgot the classic Windows commandment "When wierd things happen...reboot"

Thank you
