Time-lapse RepRap

Thought you might like to see the time-lapse shot I did of a test
hexagon. If you've not seen the blog, I've uploaded this to YouTube:

I'm very impressed with your use of your webcam to do the time-lapse photography. I built a little frame-grab program for my webcam in VB.NET a few years ago.

Could I ask how you talked it into giving you an mpg or equivalent instead of simple bitmap pics?

Windows users might want to think about using Flix, a cheap Webcam app that can do time lapse videos at as high as 640x480.

US$10

and for OSX users there is support built into iMovie, or you could
dish out $35 to get the highly rated Boinx iStopMotion. pretty rad.

I collected all the frames, sequentially numbered, and ran:

ffmpeg -b 600 -i ../reprap_movie/frame%04d.jpg time_lapse_hexagon.mpg

You can get the Windows version here:
