[Gambas-user] saving picturebox as video

[Hartmut Eilers]

Hi Stephen,

thanks for your answer. I do it the way you suggested.
In the moment I use mencoder to generate the video from the
images, but I will test ffmpeg asap.

Any ideas out there how to stream the images as video ?

Thanks for your help
Regards
Hartmut
