Create an avi from still and sound

Site update - March 16th 2010

AfterDawn.com has been updated! In addition to renewing the layout of the site we have also speeded up things considerably. The new version has been tested on our Finnish site for several months, and during the testing we have managed to improve the new version even further.

You can now enjoy this new layout at English AfterDawn.com and English Discussion Forums as well! We have also introduced new sections to the site, and re-arranged things a bit.

Hi all

I need a recommendation for software with which to create an avi from a still image(jpg, png, or bmp) and a sound file(mp3 or wav).

I want to create the avi to convert to flv.

You can use VirtualDub.
For DivX/XviD, the still image should be a maximum size of 720x576.
The video output will require that the XviD codec for Windows be installed.
If you intend to use an mp3 audio stream, install the Lame MP3 Filter.

Load/drag the image file into VirtualDub.

Click 'Video' > 'Frame Rate..'
'Source rate Adjustment' > 'Change Frame Rate To'
Example:If your audio stream is sixty three seconds, 1/63=.015873 you would insert that value here (or type in 1/63).
In my case, to allow a little margin, I assumed 64 seconds and divided 1/64=.015625 and used that value.

Under 'Frame rate Conversion' > 'Convert to fps:' insert 25

'OK' back to main window.

Click 'Audio' > 'Audio from other file' and load the audio stream.
Click 'Video' > 'Compression' and select 'XviD'
Click 'File' > 'Save as avi'.

Thank you so much.

I had searched and searched on Google for some software and was having little luck trying to find something in the mass of results.

VirtualDub worked like a charm.
