I'm having trouble encoding a sequence of images (that might not start from 0000) to an avi
ffmpeg -y -f image2 -framerate 30 -start_number 560 -i "images_%04d.png" -an -vcodec rawvideo -pix_fmt bgr24 video.avi
Works, but is an uncompressed .avi (and is therefore enormous in size). So we try to encode it with xvi:
ffmpeg -y -f image2 -framerate 30 -start_number 560 -i "images_%04d.png" -vcodec xvid video.avi -an video.avi
Only that doesn't do the trick, it says unknown encoder 'xvid'. I can convert the images to an xvid .avi in VirtualDub - I just want to learn how to do in via a command line in FFMPEG
video.avi
playing in VLC player ? or, Are you able to play it in any media player? try installing thelibxvid
codec on your system, that might help.
