I have fun with my web camera making still pictures with delays and then making movies out of it.
There is some few pieces of software that can do this, but hey all lack some features that VLC have - in general and when it comes to video conversion
- Very few video formats is supported, and when it's possible to change format in menu, then only the container format differs and the end result looks all the same.
- The bitrate is needed to be high to avoid pixelated frames - typically I need bitrate to be at least 950kbps to 640x480 sized frames.
- Only Windows is supported. No Linux support at all.
- Currently I only know about two free programs that can do this, Imagestovideo and Chronolapse.
In addition, it would be nice having the ability to select a sound file to include in the resulting video. However, I can always use Avidemux to put audio into video - but I don't think that Avidemux supports that many video formats that VLC can convert to.
Thanks
