How can I convert a series of images to a valid HT

Question

I am attempting to encode a video from an image sequence, for embedding as an HTML5 video.

If any one have a answer....

Answer 1

HTML5 supports .mp4, .webm and .ogg videos, learn more here: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_video.asp

To convert other video formats to HTML5 supported video formats, follow the steps: http://www.aolor.com/video-converter/user-guide.html

Answer 2

ffmpeg is a free and versatile command line tool that will convert between a number of video formats and codecs, including image sequences. Some instructions for converting from an image sequence to a video file are here:

To make it work in the majority of web browsers, you'll want two versions of the video file: one in mp4 and one in webm. The command line would look roughly like this:

ffmpeg -f image2 -i image%d.jpg -vcodec libvpx -acodec libvorbis output.webm ffmpeg -f image2 -i image%d.jpg -vcodec libx264 -acodec libfaac output.mp4

You may also want to look into options for setting the bitrates and other options.
