I then discovered the project and learned a lot, until I was able to generate a VCD out of the lot of digitally captured 1 min video AVI files that my camera produced. In the end, I even contributed a bit to the project, because I had to wrote the yuvfps utility to convert from the 10fps to the standard 25fps.
Just as a matter of interest, what are the principal uses, if any, of the MJPEG Tools to someone who doesn't have a supported capture card?
You don't have to capture with the mjpegtools -- I never have (all my captures are DV through a Canopus box on FireWire). Capture with whatever you like, and use the mjpegtools for encoding.
I don't do nowadays much video with my digital camera, but last christmas I got a TV card (bt878) and all the knowledge I gained about formats during my initial adventures has been very useful when recording TV broadcasts. The set of utilities that this project has produced are truly for me a swiss army knife of video processing (yes, I'm only an amateur) that no commercial offering can match in versatility and of course, price.
