Portable Pix Map is a fairly standard format (though not as much as PNG), and VDub should be support importing PPM images as video frames (just like it already supports BMP, PNG, etc). I have a physics sim game with built in screen recording feature. However instead of exporting all frames to a single AVI file, it exports each one to a separate file, and that file format is binary PPM (as opposed to the other variety which is all ascii text). For some reason they don't use the more standard BMP file for these images. I've contacted this software's developer and asked him recode the screen recording function to output BMP instead, but he INSISTS on sticking with PPM. So to compile these into an AVI video I'll need either Virtualdub's frame loader to have the capability added to it to be able to load PPM images, or I'll have to get all the images converted in another program, prior to importing them as frames in virtualdub. However if it is a two step process (convert then make AVI) it will take twice as long as if it could just natively load PPM images.
I know this is called the Unofficial VirtualDub Support Forums, but I'm hoping that the devs periodically read the stuff here for new ideas. |
