Hi everyone I have a problem that may be a bit uncommon so I don't know where to start searching. Maybe someone on this list has a few ideas about it. Ok, of to the problem report: I am creating a sequence of pictures with some plotting application. (python/matplotlib) Now, what I would like to do is add them to some video stream and delete the pictures afterwards. The idea is to add the pictures to the stream as the other application is creating them, so I only have about 20 or so pictures on my harddisk at one time. Creating all pictures and making a video afterwards would use too much space. So the ideal situation would be the following: Let's say I get a new picture every five minutes or so, (time may vary per picture) then the encoder would add this picture to the video stream it is creating and I could delete the picture. The encoder would wait now for the next picture and process it until I sent a stop signal. Any ideas how this could be achieved? Thanks in advance.
