Video conversion

General

ANGER has some basic video support which is based on archiv-files containing a series of images. All video material is stored in

trunk -> data -> anim

with the file extension

.dat

The .dat file is a tar.gz file where the files stored in the tar are simply image sequences.

Making an ANGER compatible .dat video

On Mac OS X using MPEG Streamclip

  • First of all make a video and save it in your favorite format.
  • Now create images out of this video. This can be done e.g. with MPEG Streamclip ( http://www.squared5.com/).
    • Open MPEG Streamclip
    • Select File -> Open Files and choose your base-video
    • Select File -> Export to other formats and choose Image Sequence
    • Press the Options button and choose JPG and 18 fps
  • Create a tar.gz file out of the files with tar cfvz video.tar.gz *.jpg
  • The images can be delete with rm *.jpg
  • put the tar.gz into the data/anim folder and rename to insert-related-videoname-here.dat
