Is there a way to save a sequence of pictures in JPG?
I know I can save it in BMP...
Thanks |

It can't be done with VirtualDub, and it's not a good idea anyway since JPEG is a lossy format.

There are many tools out there that lets you covert a whole directory of i ages to the format you want.Make yor search! BTW , you can use Vdubmod to save PNG sequences.They need less space, and aren't lossy. |

Can it be done the other way round? Several times I tried to load a set of JPEG-files, but I had to convert them to bmp before. I know VirtualDub has an internal MJPEG-Decoder, so why could these decoder not also decode several JPEG-files? It would be great if VirtualDub could lossless convert these jpeg-image-sequence to a MJPEG-stream. Or is that to difficult? |

Motion JPEG, or rather, MJPEG in AVI, is a subset of JPEG -- in particular, the Huffman tables for MJPEG are fixed and thus omitted from the frames. You can convert an MJPEG field image to a baseline JPEG, but not the other way around. |

Huffman is lossless compression, so it could be decompressed and recompressed lossless? The file may be bigger with a non-optimized table, but there is no loss and it should be possible.
Edit: I have some files which are looking like JPEG, but my picture-viewer (irfanview) gives me an error message like "Bogus Huffman table definition", "Bogus Marker length", "JPEG Datastream contains no image" or "Unsupported JPEG process: SOF type 0xc7". Other program just say it´s not a valid file, but what does that exactly mean?
