command line syntax to convert PNG(s) to AVI with trans?

[brainlord]

I have (serveral) huge stacks of rendered PNGs with alpha transperancy. (myPNG-001.png, myPNG-002.png...myPNG-999.png)

I want direct conversion (no filters or anything) to 30 fps AVIs *with the alpha channel.* And I realy hope I don't have to type every single "myPNG-00x.png" filename because threre are thousands of them.

(I love IM! but boy does it need a GUI!)

AHA TIA

Try this to start.

Code: Select all

mencoder mf://*.png -mf w=800:h=600:fps=30:type=png -ovc lavc \
    -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:mbd=2:trell -oac copy -o output.avi

Does that even work? I have never heard of AVI's having transparency!

I don't know.
The reference was meant to get the OP digging.
But I hope so, I'm going to need it soon. If I get the thread titled 'convert avi 2 gif does not complete' answered.
