  1. I am looking to have a completely automated process where: images from streaming webcams are saved to my server, a time-stamp (month, day, year, hours:minutes) is added and displayed on each image, the images for a single day are compiled into a time-lapse video at approximately 5-10 fps, then upload to YouTube on a daily basis. I would like each days images stored in a new folder with that days date as the folder name (ex: 03-23-2012), and to retain the folder for approximately 14 days, then delete the folder and all of its contents on the 15th day. Within the folder, I am assuming that the images should be in chronological order (in order to do the time-lapse). Currently, the images have the following format when they are uploaded by the webcam to my server - 12040315210900.jpg (12-year, 04-month, 03-day, 15-hour, 21-minute, 09-second, 00-ms). When the video is uploaded to YouTube, I would like the video title to have the date plus an identifier (ex: Sunday, March 10 - Backyard; Sunday, March 10 - Garage). The actual file name of the video to be uploaded to YouTube is not that important to me.

    I have 12 different webcams that I want to do this for. The webcams can upload a picture to my server every x minutes (I use 5 minutes right now).

    I am currently using a Windows XP system (so linux/ubuntu/OS are not good options for me).

    I have been messing around with ffmpeg, mencoder, VBScripts, etc and I cannot figure out a good way to do this.

    I am sure these are fundamental processes/scripts, but I am too much of a newbie to figure it out.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    No, it's not that fundamental. Adding time stamps is not that simple using ffmpeg or mencoder. See for example http://einar.slaskete.net/2011/09/05/adding-time-stamp-overlay-to-video-stream-using-ffmpeg/ . But those filters might not exists on the windows builds then...
