I'm trying to use JMF to make a video using multiple jpg images. These images are also saved using ImageIO of Java itself. Unfortunately, I cannot find a code sample or a working code/class to accomplish make the video using JMF.

There was a JpegImagesToMovie.java class here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/jpegimagestomovie-176885.html but that link seems broken.

Can someone please post a working code, or tell me some other way of making videos with java and a different class?

I think a working code on this page might help others like me in future.

BTW, I also tried to use ffmpeg to compile the video, but that says similar to:

image2 codec not found

When we use java ImageIO to make jpg images, are they not compatible with ffmpeg codecs?

java command:

ImageIO.write(capture, "jpg", new File( uploadPath, filename));

This is the ffmpeg error:

ffmpeg.exe -f image2 -i pic\s%d.jpeg -vcodec mpeg2video vid\video.mpg

    Can you post the ffmpeg command with response? – d33pika Jan 29 '13 at 09:41

    *"that link seems broken"* Try [this one](http://stackoverflow.com/a/2173398/418556). – Andrew Thompson Jan 29 '13 at 09:54
  • Hello, I've posted the ffmpeg error I get. I get this error with any image2 command I use. Thanks for the JpegImagesToMovie.java code. It's too advanced for my level of java. If somehow I can get the ffmpeg to get working, that'd be best. Thanks – jeet Jan 29 '13 at 14:27

Looks like this command works using ffmpeg:

ffmpeg -f image2 -i img%d.jpg a.avi

Just 1 more question. I added the command to my java program like:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ffmpegp.exe -f image2 -i pic\\s%d.jpg vid\\video.avi");

Which is creating the video! Is there a way to "track" when video creation is complete, so that a message on java GUI can be shown, like, "video made" etc.
