For a demonstration in a class I'm teaching, I recently assembled a video from a PNG stream with Sintel (except just the trailer, it was a more manageable size for the demo).
My example's a bit different, so bare with me.
Ogg Theora is the codec of choice for free-licensed, patent-free video, and so that is the one I'll be using in my experiment in creating an alternative format for distributing high definition video. The original, full-quality animation for "Sintel" is provided as a series of PNG images representing each frame, and so I'll need to turn that into a high-quality Theora video stream for my prototype "Lib-Ray" version of "Sintel". In this column, I'll show how I do that.
