Using AVAssetWriter to create a movie from images

问题:

The call to appendPixelBuffer is returning NO on 3GS device (IOS 4.1), but is working well on iPhone 4 devices.

The following call to appendPixelBuffer is the source of the problem:

CVPixelBufferRef buffer = NULL;
buffer = [self pixelBufferFromCGImage:[[UIImage imageNamed:@"frame1.png"] CGImage]];
BOOL result = [adaptor appendPixelBuffer:buffer withPresentationTime:kCMTimeZero];

if (result == NO) //failes on 3GS, but works on iphone 4
    NSLog(@"failed to append buffer");

}

Full Code:

-(void)writeImagesAsMovie:(NSArray *)array toPath:(NSString*)path {


NSLog(path);

NSError *error = nil;
AVAssetWriter *videoWriter = [[AVAssetWriter alloc] initWithURL:
                              [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path] fileType:AVFileTypeQuickTimeMovie
                                                          error:&error];

if(error) {
    NSLog(@"error creating AssetWriter: %@",[error description]);
}

The error (ONLY ON 3GS, iphone 4 is fine) is

Check Console Log in Organizer for device. I got same error on Ipod 2nd Gen and Console Log Reported

com.apple.mediaserverd[18] : VTSelectAndCreateVideoEncoderInstance: no video encoder found for 'avc1'

Exactly what that means still working on, however it points me in a direction.

use this https://github.com/caferrara/img-to-video it runs on iPhone 3gs device.
