MPEG encoder

Converts a set of 2D images (JPEG, PNG,...) into a Mpeg film.

Description

This process allows to choose in a choice of sub-processes, each specialized to use a specific MPEG encoder software (we have used freeware encoders like mencoder, transcode or recmpeg). Each of these sub-processes takes, at least, a list of 2D images as input, and a MPEG or AVI filename as output. They can also have additional parameters (encoding codec, quality, time scale etc.).
Those external programs should be correctly installed on the system before corresponding sub-processes can be valid. Therefore, depending on which programs BrainVisa detects, the choice of encoders will be wide or restricted (and even absent if no encoder is present).

Parameters

images: ListOf ( input )

2D images set, must be ordered
