Title: OS X converter for MDB sequential renders to movie format Post by: DavidMac on April 25, 2012, 02:08:13 PM Does anyone know a good OS X app to convert the sequential files output by mandelbulber to movie files. To my amazement a web search has turned up nothing that seems to work. I can do this in Photoshop CS Extended but it is a bit tedious or, if push comes to shove, I can use a Windows app in VMWare, but a native OS X straight meat in one end sausages out the other would be infinitely preferable.
Any suggestions? Preferably free or inexpensive ..... :) Title: Re: OS X converter for MDB sequential renders to movie format Post by: cKleinhuis on April 25, 2012, 02:33:05 PM check out: http://www.virtualdub.org/

I was hoping for something similar that wouldn't need me to fire up VMWare and go into Windows. That being said, virtual dub is indeed excellent and works fine. I guess I am just lazy ..... :embarrass:

This is going to be far more use to me than simply converting sequential frames to video. Thank you so much for pointing me at this. Wonderful!!!! :) |
