Images to Video

Images to Video is a program that lets you convert images of various formats (including BMP, JPG and PNG) to video clips (e.g. WMV, FLV, MOV, MPG).

This is a portable software, so installing Images to Video is not necessary. This way, you can place the program on a removable drive and use it on any computer. Also, your Windows registry keys will not be changed.

The interface of the application is based on a standard window in which you can specify the image path by using the file browser only, since the "drag and drop" method is not supported.

Plus, you can set Images to Video to look for a particular type of image format or to process only pictures with a file name that satisfies a particular expression.

But you can also disable the tool from converting images which have been created in a specific time interval.

You can use a software rescale, flip or rotate pictures, specify the  temporary directory, video codec and destination, configure settings when it comes to the number of frames per second, video bit rate, quality, resolution and maximum CPU threads, and more.

The video converter runs on moderate system resources and takes a reasonable amount of time to finish an encoding job. Images are maintained at a very good quality in the video.

Unfortunately, there is no help file available, no message pops up at the end to notify you if the conversion task was a success or not, and the interface needs some major improvements, since it is not attractive in any way. Also, we would have liked the possibility of adding music.

Several errors popped up during our tests when we ran the program on Windows 7 (it seems to have some minor compatibility issues) but it works fine on XP. We recommend Images to Video with reservations.
