BmpToAvi

BMP to AVI converter

Disambiguation: If you're trying write your own application that creates an AVI file from bitmaps, you want the BmpToAvi DLL instead.

BmpToAvi converts a folder containing bitmaps (BMP files) to an AVI video file. It's built on the BmpToAvi DirectShow filter DLL, and doesn't use VfW so there's no 2GB limit. The bitmaps must be numbered sequentially, e.g. 000000.bmp, 000001.bmp, etc. Any number of bitmaps can be converted. Note that the bitmaps must all have the same attributes, i.e. frame size and bits per pixel. The application checks for inconsistent attributes and/or missing frames before the conversion begins.
