GPU usage

[kotiko]

Hi,

We have a pictures (jpg) from a IP camera that I want to convert into a gif "video"

image1.jpg
image2.jpg
....
image3.jpg
----(convert)---------------->
image.gif

The problem is that ffmpeg and avconv are too slow... there are another software that uses the GPU to do it?

What's the exact command line you're using to do the conversion? It may be possible to speed the process up a little, or less likely a lot.

You've probably already considered this, but I do it using a Windows Machine and VirtualDub as I haven't managed to get the Pi working properly to do it. I did a guide on doing that here: (it's a bit long winded moving files across though)

There is another way that uses the GPU, but I'm struggling to get my Pi to do this without it crashing, as per this forum topic:

Hi,

About Option1:

It's not possible because I want that raspberry pi "make" the video itself...

About Option 2:

Now, I send an e-mail to raspberry technical support. If they answer me, I copy the answer in this forum.

Thanks.

Raspberry Pi themselves don't have a technical support email - they will just redirect you here.

Hi jamesh,

Do you know a software /command in raspberry that can we convert a n images in a GIF "video" fast?

The avconv and ffmpeg are too slow..

thanks..

convert from imagemagick? http://www.tjhsst.edu/~dhyatt/supercomp/n401a.html

but at some point you will have to use a stronger CPU or transfer images from Pi to another computer to make the gif and retrieve it if needed.

The second link sav25 posted is the only thing which
could work - but there might some problems to get it running.
