image2mpeg Description

A tool to convert digital photos into MPEG movie streams image2mpeg is a tool to convert digital photos (and any other images) into MPEG video streams, with transitions between the images.The photos may be accompanied with music (or any other audio stream). The resulting slideshows may be prepared for VCD, SVCD, or DVD playback in stand-alone players.After years of producing photos with my digital camera, I was searching for a way to show them on the TV. In the first step I made SVCDs with MPEG still images. The display quality was very good, but SVCD doesn't allow transitions between the photos nor music.Now, image2mpeg is a tool to convert digital photos (and any other images) into MPEG video streams with transitions between the images. The photos may be accompanied with music (or any other audio streams). Also included in image2mpeg is a script to generate credits and title streams.Furthermore, image2mpeg now also supports the Ken Burns Effect, where photos can be panned and zoomed during display.image2mpeg is running on Linux, and should also work on other UNIX platforms as long as the packages are available which image2mpeg depends on. In addition to may want to use VCDimager to generate VCD or SVCDs from the generated streams. For DVD authoring I personally prefer DVDStyler. Most of the packages should be included in your Linux distribution.InstallationDownload and install the RPM package, or download and extract the source tarball and do the following:./configuremakeAfter that, do the installation as root user:make installimage2mpeg is now installed. Have fun!
