Make a DVD to play at 1 frame per minute?
Best thing will be to put the lapse photos in Adobe Premere or some kind of consumer movie maker and edit it to play 1 minute apart. This can be done very easily even with demo movie editor. Only problem is playing more than 2 hours in one DVD… maybe u can save it as avi or svcd or something to longate the file.
I think it would be easy to do this with FLASH. The video goes into an FLV, and you can control playback speed in any way you want — forward, backwards, stopped, moving slowly, any speed at all. If there’s a lot of video, the file might be quite large, but that’s not really a problem if you’re talking about burning it onto a DVD. You’d play it by running the SWF file from the DVD. (Actually, depending on how much video you had, it might be necessary to break it up into several files and chain them together, so that you didn’t have to have the whole thing loaded into memory at once.
Thanks AskMe, just for clarification, I wish to author the DVD on a PC running windows and distribute the finished DVD to several locations. That makes supplying hardware difficult. The images will be JPEGs taken by a digicam in time lapse mode. I am marking tomcooke as a best answer as it looks like the VCD software he suggested will do this out of the box. phearlez get another tick for the possible cunning use of menus if the VCD option fails. I will revisit should any late comers have any other suggestions.
