Are you prepared to deal with the fact that even NoPages has a compiled UI? 
ETA: And the released v.5 isn't the latest. I've got a v.6 beta. Small changes, but.... |

If it comes with a NetBeans/Eclipse/Black Magic project, I'd have a go.
If not I'd just cobble the code together and leave the interface out, just put hooks in ready

The biggest issue I see is the 'Don't do me any favours' code problem, maybe you'd rather me not? |

Well, tinker all you like, but please don't post a "new" version of one of my skins!
(And the source code is all bundled with the skin - no myteries.)

I wouldn't dream of it, if I do do anything I'll send you a link.

One last thing, just in case anyone gets adventurous, don't mix image types!
ffmpeg will only use images of the same type, so if the first image is a jpg and then a png followed by more jpgs then the png is ignored. If the png is first the jpgs are ignored. |

Wow, there's a trap for the unwary!
But I'm sure it handles animated GIF's, right?  |

Very happy with animated gifs in a folder, but they don't appear in the album wide video given trap above. If you turn on reporting it gives 'Line 350: Error 69 making video' and in the ffmpeg process details it gives multiple 'mjpeg @ 0x7f9043802400] No JPEG data found in image
Error while decoding stream #0:0: Invalid data found when processing input'.
The error doesn't affect the album wide video apart from the gifs not being included and there is no black warning triangle. |

Big thanks to everyone involved. |

Hi Rob,
in the past I was writing scripts for my own to create an MP4 out of pictures. Because lack of knowledge I used one second as the delay, but I need values below one second. What I found out is simple, of course you only have to use duration 0.5 (instead of duration 0,5, which is what we use in Germany for half a second). So my request for your tool is to also allow values below 1 second.
Why one want to use a delay lower than one second in the first place? For example if you want to create a movie out of satellite photos. I have an example here. It also shows my batch file to create the movies and the scripts files too.
Thanks again, Markus |

Updated the tool to allow manual entry of values between 0.1 and 10, the spinner still shows 1 to 10 as I don't want it to have every possible value or step from 0.5 to 10 in increments of 0.5 - someone may want a lower value than 0.5.
The tool will also now make the videos if you change the images required or the display time for images. |

It took a year to get it right but glad that it was worth the wait  |
