I am trying to encode some images of same resolution into a video file using, For that I have tried:
jCodec
jcodec..example description
But it is very time consuming and not a proper tool to encode large number of images and it creates a quick time extension.
FFMPEG
FFMPEG..example description
But ffmpeg only able to create video from image files. Images need to be create on physical system.
I have heard Xuggler that its APIs can be used in java program to create video file but as its site seems broken. I am unable to try it.
Does anybody know how to encode images in java format into a video file Please help!
THanks in Advance !
Xuggler is deprecated, use Humble-Video instead. It already comes with some demo projects, including how to take screenshots and convert it to a video file: RecordAndEncodeVideo.java

I am using it for real time using on a webapp.
If you will gonna stream this in real time you will need a RTSP server. You can either use big frameworks like Red 5 Server, Wowza Streaming Engine or you can built your own server using Netty which has a built in RTSP codec since version 3.2.
Using command line, there are various ways to convert image to video. You can use those command in java for saving. You can get those commands from the following link:
code to save png image from HTML5 canvas
Base64 decoder = new Base64();
byte[] pic = decoder.decodeBase64(request.getParameter("pic"));
String frameCount = request.getParameter("frame");
InputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(pic);
BufferedImage bImageFromConvert = ImageIO.read(in);
String outdir = "output\\"+frameCount;
//Random rand = new Random();
File file = new File(outdir);
if(file.isFile()){
if(file.delete()){
File writefile = new File(outdir);
ImageIO.write(bImageFromConvert, "png", file);
}
}
Code for creating image from video
String filePath = "D:\\temp\\some.mpg";
String outdir = "output";
File file = new File(outdir);
file.mkdirs();
Map<String, String> m = System.getenv();
/*
* String command[] =
* {"D:\\ffmpeg-win32-static\\bin\\ffmpeg","-i",filePath
* ,"-r 30","-f","image2",outdir,"\\user%03d.jpg"};
*
* ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(command); pb.start();
*/
String commands = "D:\\ffmpeg-win32-static\\bin\\ffmpeg -i " + filePath
+ " -r 30 -f image2 " + outdir + "\\image%5d.png";
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(commands);
code for creating video from image
String filePath = "output";
File fileP = new File(filePath);
String commands = "D:\\ffmpeg-win32-static\\bin\\ffmpeg -f image2 -i "
+ fileP + "\\image%5d.png " + fileP + "\\video.mp4";
System.out.println(commands);
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(commands);
System.out.println(fileP.getAbsolutePath());
Credit goes to @yashprit
Use the following code:
void convertImg_to_vid()
{
Process chperm;
try {
chperm=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
DataOutputStream os =
new DataOutputStream(chperm.getOutputStream());
os.writeBytes("ffmpeg -f image2 -i img%d.jpg /tmp/a.mpg\n");
os.flush();
chperm.waitFor();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
