Make AVI video out of jpeg images

What is this?

This is a program that can convert a bunch of jpgs to AVI format. You can specify at what rate the jpgs can show up.

To make it work

You need JPG images of the same width and height. Place them in a directory.

Name them 1.jpeg, 2.jpeg, 3.jpeg, ..., n.jpeg, in the order you want them to show up in the video.

Change executable permissions of the script 'create-avi.sh' and compile the C source files. Run the script 'create-avi.sh' as follows:

./create-avi.sh path/to/jpgs widthxheight [fps - optional]

Example

Take the photos I have added in the repo for reference. I have places jpg files under the folder 'jpgs' of where I make the dishes in my student apartment. The dimensions are 800 pixels in width and 600 pixels in height. Say we want to display 1 frame per second in the video. Then type the following commands in the terminal:

cd 'this-directory'

make

chmod ugo+x create-avi.sh 

./create-avi.sh jpgs 800x600 1

Playing the video

Quicktime is not budging. I recommend VLC, it accepts mjpeg-avi.
