That gives you more flexibility in encoding, as you can change the frame rate, bitrate, use more codecs, etc...Of course, if you do this, you need to use some encoding software such as ffmpeg, mencoder, QuickTime Pro, etc in order to encode the movie. I hope this helps,<br>

I want to save an animation from a python script using pvbatch or pvpython. Is there a python command for saving an image sequence, or do I need to repeatedly change frames and call WriteImage() each time?<br><font color="#888888"><br>
