We have just started a project at work and the architect has a live web cam set up.
I have started taking a snapshot every morning and building a library of jpegs.

Is there a programme where i can join all the jpegs together and make a movie???
Isnt that what a mpeg is???

Regards

Barry

No. MPEG takes into account the relationship between frames to minimise amount of redrawing of unchanged areas.

You *could* convert the JPEGs to GIFs and then string them together as an animated GIF; programs like Paintshop Pro or any number of shareware/freeware goodies are available to do this (search tucows.com)

programs, bah. www.jumpcut.com - does it, hosts it, all you gotta do is hyperlink or embed it. You could also buy a Mac, just drop all your stills into iPhoto and get iMovie to make it in a couple of clicks. MPEG - MPEG-4 is a compressor - does AVI and QUICKTIME. Alternatively save as AVI or QUICKTIME .. avoid WMV it is a big fat dog. MPEG4 is the current weapon of choice. Small files, great quality. MPEG4 often used the popular 'torrent' compressor - DIVX or XVID.

You can also use www.media-convert.com to change formats or www.zamzar.net (I think). Jumpcut is like YouTube but you can mix and edit it. Still free. I would suggest however that you simply make a photosteam using FlickR. Host the pics via a feed and import into a Blog like www.wordpress.com - fast and free.

Applications are a thing of the P A S T.
