Modifiying JpegImagesToMovie example

Question

Hi,
I've modified the JpegImagesToMovie example in order to generate an AVI file.
The problem is that the AVI file generated is very big comparing to the one generated as Quicktime.
Do you know how to generate an AVI file with compressed images?
Thank you.

Answer 1

After setting the processor's content descriptor, get its track controls. Iterate through the track controls to find one with a format that is an instance of VideoFormat. Next, obtain all the available formats from that control. Iterate through those and find one you like, say, CVID. Then set the control's format to the selected format. Personally, I like the MJPG codec for hi-res work because it maintains good quality while still doing decent compression.         TrackControls[] tc = p.getTrackControls();
        for (int i = 0; i < tc.length; i++) {
            TrackControl c = tc;
Format f = c.getFormat(); // current format
if (f instanceof VideoFormat) {
Format[] fmt = c.getSupportedFormats();
if ((fmt != null) && (fmt.length > 0)) {
// look through fmt array for desired format
// and once found, use c.setFormat(newFormat)
Use a decent debugger to inspect the results. There is no available documentation that can tell you what to expect.
