About:
image2mpeg is a tool to convert digital photos (or any other images) into MPEG video streams, with transitions between the images. The photo stream may be accompanied with music (or any other audio stream). The resulting slideshow may be prepared for VCD, SVCD, or DVD playback in stand-alone players, or the MPEG videos may be converted into FLV (Flash Videos). The type of transition can be selected for each image separately from a set of fade, slide, roll, etc.

[»] Excellent Program
by Chris Purves - Jul 25th 2007 13:26:34

I was very happy with this program. I contacted the developer about adding more options about how to handle aspect ratios of the images and he implemented new functions right away.

I used the program to make DVD formatted mpegs and the program did everything I wanted.

The documentation could be more substantial. For example, it wasn't clear to me that you could write directly to a .mpg since the documentation suggests you write to a .ppm. Also, more information on working with index files would be helpful. I expect that as the project matures, the documentation will be improved and a user's forum or mailiing list will be made available.

[»] Works great + great service too!

This program is truly excellent and works very well. It gives me the results that I am looking for and comes with many different effects. I highly recommend it.

When I first tried out this program, it didn't work. So I contacted the author and he VERY promptly contacted me and we soon discovered that newer versions of FFMPEG work a little differently so the author showed me how to modify my image2mpeg script and then he released a new package the next day with the modifications built-in. The author gives better service than any software company out there.
