    TGA Sequencing convert to AVI

    Does anyone know of any free software where you can load a number of TGA files in, and create a movie out of them e.g. AVI

    I have looked on internet and not had much look finding anything for free which doesn't leave any watermark on. I know adobe pro version and Quicktime pro can do this, but was wondering if there was any free easy apps out there that could do this?

    Re: TGA Sequencing convert to AVI

    Awhile back I created a class that can parse TGA files and store the files as bitmaps and vice versa. Well, I know there are bitmap to AVI projects on PlanetSourceCode and probably elsewhere too. On this site? I've only seen links to other sites. Search this site for "BMP to AVI". In combination with my class and a bmp-avi project, I think you can get what you are looking for.

    Attached is a class that will save a TGA to BMP format. I have modified it from a complex graphics suite I wrote, so not all remarks and not all class methods/routines may apply. Some of the routines may look like overkill, but the project I extracted this from is unicode filename compliant and multi-bitdepth bitmap compliant; taking the time to scale it completely down for simple TGA to Bmp conversion/storage wasn't really a goal here. These modifications are only for this upload.

    For your purposes, the class accepts 2 sources: TGA FileName or TGA file in a byte array. It outputs to a 24bit true color bitmap or a 32bit premultiplied alpha bitmap (only if source TGA has transparency).

    Rename the .txt file to .cls, then add it to your project and play.

    Re: TGA Sequencing convert to AVI

    Thanks LaVolpe,

    actually thats the method i used in the end but forgot to post it in here!
    I used InfraViewer (get from filehippo.com) to convert to BMP.

    Then i found a simple AVI converter written in Java to do the job.

    Thanks for your post anyway.
