A simple interface to the Video for Windows API for creating AVI movies from individual images.

Introduction

This article describes a simple interface to the Video for Windows API for creating AVI movies from individual images. The idea for this code comes from a Microsoft sample that was very unfriendly to use. With that in mind, I created this code to easily create an AVI from individual images.

The steps are:

  1. include "aviUtil.h".
  2. Call START_AVI("foo.avi"); // you must include the .avi extention.
  3. Call ADD_FRAME_FROM_DIB_TO_AVI(yourDIB, "DIB", 30); // the dib is passed in as a HANDLE which can be obtained by loading the image with a Image library. (I used CxImage which is available on this site). Put this call in a while or for loop to add all the images you want to the AVI.
  4. Call STOP_AVI(); //this closes the avi and video.
