Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Convert sequence of images to video (with ffmpeg?)
« Last post by 4wd on January 14, 2015, 05:21 AM »
Here's a program that may do what you want:

AnotherGUI - AnotherGUI is a graphical front-end for audio/video command line converter (such as ffmpeg/ffmbc).

2015-01-14 22_02_01.png

Download the preset I attached to this post and extract it somewhere, (it'll create a 10fps video that's 1280x720 and displays each image for 1 second).

Download v2.0.2beta and the appropriate x86/x64 version of SQLite via the links on the page.

Extract them into a directory, add the executables from the ffmpeg archive, (ffmpeg, ffprobe, ffplay).

When you first run AnotherGUI, answer No to the following:

2015-01-14 21_57_15.png

Click the Edit button:

2015-01-14 21_59_30.png

Then click the Import button, select the file [email protected] (extracted from the attachment), hit Open, and then hit OK:

2015-01-14 22_00_08.png

Exit the program, then run it again, (the preset won't show up until the next time it's run):

2015-01-14 22_10_21.png

Rename your image files so that they're sequentially numbered, then you can either drag'n'drop the folder they're in on the Add an image sequence button or click the button and select one of the images, the appropriate job will be created:

2015-01-14 21_35_18.png

It will output to the source folder by default, or you can change it by hitting the button - otherwise hit the Go button.

The last command run is displayed and you can save it as a .bat file to run again if necessary:

You can edit the preset if you want a different frame rate or size.

There's also the old VirtualDub.

Drop the first image on its window and it will load all the others in sequence (as long as they're the same dimensions), then if you go File->Save as AVI you'll end up with a RAW AVI at the default 10fps, (you can change it under Video->Frame rate - which you can convert to any other format required using a video converter.

You can resize the output using a resize filter under Video->Filters.

Chronolapse appears to be written in Python - maybe someone here can checkout the source and add the extra video formats supported by a newer version of mencoder?

Can't help it, I like panoramas more than normal photos.  I really need a better camera though, the A720is shows a bit more noise than I'd like (and its age) ... one day ...

There's also the ones I posted for one of our other trips here.

I really need to start scanning our pre-digital photos (I need to anyway for bushfire reasons) ... then I can start on our Trans-Siberian photos  >:D

If the worst day of your life consisted of accidentally killing your girlfriend with an axe, chain-sawing your own arm off, and watching in horror as your closest friends were devoured by a zombified Nazi battalion, you'd have to assume that things couldn't get much worse. In Martin's case, that was only the beginning.

Scandinavian horror is always fun :)

Those are some awesome panoramas. And what an epic journey! Is that a single sailing excursion?

That was a 6 week Perth (Australia) to Harwich (England) via Mauritius, Reunion, Sth Africa (Durban, Mossel Bay, Capetown), Namibia, St Helena, Ascension (no landing, too rough), Cape Verde, Canary Islands, Portugal, and France.  Most stops were 4-8 hours as it was a repositioning cruise, (which also means it was cheap :) ).

Followed by 5 months in Devon (England).

For anyone who watched War Horse, this is the ruin they used for the homestead in its original condition.

It's a Russian hydrofoil (Raketa).

There was a case in Canada where a fellow refused to collect taxes at his business. Of course he was taken to court, but he won. He claimed that forcing him to collect taxes on behalf of the government was forced labour, and the judge agreed.

I don't know if it will help but what order are the adapters listed in under Network Connections->Advanced->Advanced Settings->Adapters and Bindings

I'm not sure I quite follow what you're getting at here. But I'll keep trying. :)

I read through it three times when he first posted it & once just now after reading your reply and I still can't get a sense of what point he is trying to make.

Considering I have yet to get the point of any of his posts, you're not alone.

This might help: Listen N Write

I used it once for transcribing an interview for the Amiga4Ever guys.

You can bookmark by pressing Control+M, (I don't think you can save them though you can take a screenshot of your bookmarks and then jump to time), plus it also has a Smart Pause N Play mode where it pauses when you start typing in the inbuilt editor and when you stop it starts playing after a couple of seconds.

It requires Windows Media Player be installed, (needs wmp.dll), and has its own built in text editor, and is free/donationware.

Redemption of an upgrade discount invalidates your previous Directory Opus licence.

Deal breaker for me.

Strange, I have v11 running on my main machine and my old v10, (that I upgraded to v11), running on another both say they are licensed and the v10 keeps telling me that it is the current v10 version and that I can upgrade to v11, (ie. it has internet access, still checks for updates, and does license verification).

All I can say is, the upgrade didn't invalidate my previous v10 license but it does stop me from trying to upgrade that v10 license again.

The License Manager shows that the main program license "Never expires":

EDIT: Oooppss!!!, I meant $1/month - sorry.

Just received a promo from 9web for new Professional services, (for new or existing accounts):

We're running a New Year's promotion! Until January 7th 2015, you'll be able to create new professional hosting accounts for $1 for the lifetime of that account! Make as many as you like! Perfect for current and new users alike! Please bare in mind that this only applies to new professional services and that current services cannot have this promo code applied to them. The code is below, feel free to share it around as much as you like! Just remember that it expires Jan 7th 2015.


CODE: NEW_YEAR_2015

2014-12-22 12_58_12.png


Maybe Renegade can set up a few more rant blogs ;)

Disclaimer: I have had a Professional hosting service with them since their last promo, (a year ago), but haven't used it for anything.  (It seemed like a good idea at the time :) ).

Living Room / Re: looking for an adapter
« Last post by 4wd on December 19, 2014, 06:19 PM »
Yes, proprietary plug, your best bet is going to be a replacement universal PSU with interchangeable right-angle tips, like this:

PSU201-4.jpg

Along with an adapter plug like this:

890494533_017.jpg

Although, it's still going to stick out 30mm-50mm.

Wouldn't it be easier to just reroute the power cord behind the laptop?

Or move the mouse?

Or just keep searching the internet until you find a replacement universal PSU that has the required right-angle plug.

OMG, how long has that been there?

People were asking how to do it from the browser Play Store for years, (it would still be a lot easier) - didn't even think to look at the app ... time for my morning coffee I think  :-[

EDIT: After using it, it's still a PITA since you apparently can't multi-select to delete.  Even though online guides say there's a Delete icon up the top, all I have is Install.

Both free.
