compress avi?

[Tim Bücker]

Hello.

I am working on a program that generates about 1000 pictures that should
reside in an avi later.
Of course this amount of pictures creates a very huge avi-file but my main
problem is speed.

I´ve heard that it is not possible to add bitmaps to a compressed stream.
But I think it is very time consuming to always decompress the whole avi -
put one bitmap into it - and compress it again.
What is the fastest way to create a compressed avi? Is it best to compress
the avi-file when it is finished?

Thanks for any hints!

Greetings,
Tim.

Hi Tim,

I haven't tried to encode video in .NET/C# but I'll give you a couple of
search (google/msdn/*)
clues:

* Managed DirectX
* DirectShow
* AVI Compressor
