Anyone know what application (free would be nice) allows a folder full of JPGs which are a collection of timelapse images to be made into an mpg file?

Cheers

Oh, forgot to mention, for running on either Windows or Ubuntu.

Quicktime Pro works a treat for this, not sure if it runs on Linux though.

Just checked and KDEnlive (which is Linux native) can do this (although not in an 'automated' way AFAIK).

Decent all-round video app to have installed anyway.

http://www.videohelp.com/tools/ffmpeg

it's a command line tool you can use to do an awful lot of very handy video things.

To make a list of jpegs, numbered like 001.jpg, 002.jpg etc into an mp4 file, you would write something like...

ffmpeg -i %03d.jpg myvideofile.mp4

It's worth learning, in the long run. It's also the "hidden guts" of many of the tools out there. They are just wrappers...
