converting BMPs to AVI

Aug 16th, 2003

Hello,
Does anybody have a piece of code to convert sequence of bitmaps into video(avi) without using directx sdk?
I am looking for a pure win32 API solution so I will be able to translate it to the programming language I use(After GRasp)

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance
Paco

You may want to look into The GNU Image Manipulation Program (The GIMP). It's available in a Windows port -- source code, too (I think that's the part you will like). Also, a Java control interface is being worked on, maybe you can make use of that, as well.

If nothing else, it's a useful free program that rivals Photoshop in power. Another version (fork) used in the motion picture industry is CinePaint

which is probably overkill for your needs, but interesting.
