AVI to QuickTime?

2002-08-19 19:28:18+02 by Dan Lyke 1 comments

Back when I knew way more about QuickTime than was healthy, I seem to remember a simple file format converter that would read frames from AVI files and drop the data into a QuickTime[Wiki] file, keeping the codec specifications the same, just repackaging the digital data into the new format. Further research on my video on Linux experiments indicates that if I could find source code for this utility I'd be very happy. I'd write one myself, but I don't want to have to rededicate those neurons if I can avoid it, the details of framing just don't appeal any more... Anyone got any leads?

TRMOOV does exactly what I want, but in DOS.

The Blender multimedia tutorial notes how to do JPEG sequence imports, and points to Gmerlin as a possibility for doing the conversions.
