How to Do Time Lapse with VirtualDub
------------------------------------------------
There are many ways to do this, but here's
a simple recipe I use to create time-lapse
movies:

1. Open the source AVI in VirtualDub. (Let's
say an hour-long video of clouds moving
real-time across the sky.)

2. Under Video => Frame Rate => Frame Rate
Conversion, check Decimate and enter a value.
Try 15 or 30 or 60 or 120 for example. Higher
numbers = faster. Leave everything else
default.

3. Set Video to Full Processing mode and
select a compression codec (I use DivX 4).

4. Set Audio to No Audio.

5. Save the AVI under a new name.

6. Open this new file in VirtualDub.

7. Go to Video => Frame Rate => Source rate
adjustment and check "Change to" and enter a
value, for example, 29.970. Set "Frame
Rate adjustment" to: Process All Frames.

8. Set Video to Direct Stream. (Do not re-encode.)

9. No Audio.

10. Save out under a new name.

Done.

Following your steps I was able to do time lapse, thank you
BUT as I have many heavy video files that I have to convert this way would there be a way to do the same in one step instead of two?

I tryed to decimate by 10 and adjust the source rate to 29.97 in one step but when I save it, the results does'nt inclued the 29.97 source rate.

How could I do it in one step?
