I just discovered FFmpeg: awesome software. After reading this this stackoverflow question I could efficiently create a movie with pictures in a .png format with the following line:
ffmpeg -r 1/5 -i img%03d.png -c:v libx264 -vf "fps=25,format=yuv420p" out.mp4
In an experiment, however, I took high quality pictures on a .tif format and would like to create a movie out of them. I just copied the line above and replaced the name of the files as well as the format .png by .tif but I got a message error saying "This format is not supported". Here is the report:
[tiff @ 0x7fce5c02a600] This format is not supported (bpp=12, bppcount=1)
Last message repeated 1 times
Error while decoding stream #0:0: Invalid data found when processing input
[tiff @ 0x7fce5c01bc00] This format is not supported (bpp=12, bppcount=1)
Last message repeated 7 times
Cannot determine format of input stream 0:0 after EOF
Error marking filters as finished
Conversion failed!
Should I just forget it or is there a workaround with ffmpeg?
