There are several things that trip the unwary. This is the command that worked for me:
$ mencoder mf://out-*jpg -mf w=300:h=400:fps=2:type=jpg -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:mbd=2:trell copy -oac copy -o f.avi And before this I ensured that all pictures are of the same aspect ratio. Obviously my pictures were of various aspect ratios. You have to use ImageMagick like this: $ convert i.jpg -resize !300x400 out-i.jpg Only then the resizing will be done without minding about the aspect ratio. You can create a video only using images of the same width and height. Use the identify(1) command of ImageMagick for ensuring this: $ identify out-* out-MadhubanBKWSUOmShantiBawan.jpg JPEG 300x400 300x400+0+0 8-bit DirectClass 39.1kb out-Navnath1.jpg[1] JPEG 300x400 300x400+0+0 8-bit DirectClass 46kb out-Potala.jpg[2] JPEG 300x400 300x400+0+0 8-bit DirectClass 57kb Do you see that they all are 300x400 Of course I wrote a script like this from the command line itself. for i in *jpg do convert $i -resize !300x400 out-$i done -Girish -- G3 Tech Networking appliance company web: http://g3tech.in mail: [email protected] _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
