Encoding Video From Frames

Hello, i am trying to find the best way to incode video from a frame...

i am using directX to render a frame and then i fetch the backbuffer and i have my backbuffer i got that down and it works because i can save them to jpg's but they are uncompresed and 800x600 = 2.1 mb per frame... and its not a video...

what i want to do is take these frames and encoding them and save them to a video file (avi) i looked at DirectShow but i only found tutorials and documentation on how to create a capture device for my webcam... i just want to give it the current frame and then tell it im all done and have an AVI? is that possible or am i dreaming... i would also like for the user to be able to select the encoding type...

Its the box that shows up and asks what compression you want and it gives you the installed codecs like Intel Inter Video and Microsoft Video and Divx4... is that direct show?

anyway and soultion would be helpfull.

Thanks in advance.

Re: is learn C++ in 24 hours good?

You should be really ashamed of yourself saying such a stmt.
There is no such thing as good or bad book, its only the target audience that changes. Learn C++ in 24 hrs is a good book for all those who want to know the basics of C++ so that they can move on to more advanced concepts.
And do u weigh whether a book is good or bad dependign on the graphics ? Come on man u got to be joking !!!

ok if you read it that way yah i was woundering if the book was good to start graphics programming once i am done whith the basics

(yes im still looking at the big picture BUT im not learning it YET)

sorry for the misunderstanding!

Re: Someone who wants to learn C++ with me?

Sure. Go ahead and take the long, hard path. Learning mostly with someone new, you'll likely both pick up bad habits and learn bad things to do. And synchronizing online times will be a challenge. Pokey, error prone, and problematic.
[sarcasm]
Yup, that's the approach I'd take.
It seems so much simpler than posting a question and having many eyes, and many more experience programmers, take a look at it and likely answering your questions in a quick and correct manner. This way seems to be one to avoid.
[/sarcasm]

i would advise that you folow daves advice and ask questions on the FORM not getting MUDDELED up in a whole bunch of junk in a begeners ideas of self knowlege but really will create bad habbits

please note that i am not trying to be rude i am trying to save you many hours in your path of learning C++

BASIC-BASIC C++ "your first compiler..."

c++ is in many games and processes are handled with C++...

IF you want to learn C++ You will need 2 things...

1. compiler
2.patience

you can find a great compiler called devc++
link:
http://ftp1.sourceforge.net/dev-cpp/devcpp4.zip

and inner patience... or a good tutorial
links:
http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial.html#c++tutorial
http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/

i can explain enough to compile your first program and in the begening you might feel discuraged because you are learning how the compiler reacts to different syntaxes..

once you have all of it instaled/downloaded

1.file,new,source file you should get a blank white screen! thats good!
2.go to the tutorials listed above!

REMEMBER this website has many REAL programers wandering around THEY CAN HELP feel free to post and hopfully your question will be answerd in 1-12hours!

Re: <help> pointers?

You might start by asking a specific question rather than being so vague. A person could write a book to answer your question. A TUTORIAL ON POINTERS AND ARRAYS IN C
Also, programmers eventually learn to clearly specify things and do so in plain English. You might practice that stuff too when you post questions.

I am sorry i will try to post in full english and be very specific.
