How to create time lapse videos on windows mobile?

[cacca]

Anyone heard of a program to make time lapse videos on windows mobile?
Time lapse videos are those videos made by taking pictures with a costant time pause, from a steady position and them merging them frame by frame.
I can't find anything for pocketpc on google.

If this kind of program doesn't exist anybody would mind to build/code it?
it could make some good quality videos(photo quality). :)

no one knows or is intrested?

Found some software (via Google) which should do it. I'll try it on mine and report how it is.

-edit- tested and it works well!
Extract ZIP to Pocket PC, and run config to set interval etc,
then run exe to start the time lapse :)

Just following three letters will solve your problem: "RTM" or four, if one is less polite

From the readme.html file included in the ppccamtimer.zip file:

CameraTimer for Pocket PC
Contents of the package
PpcCamTimer.exe The executable file
camtimer.config Configuration file containing the settings (in XML format)
CamTimerConfig.exe Tool to edit the settings in the camtimer.config file
readme.html Configuration instructions

To start the CameraTimer program the camtimer.config file has to be in the same folder as the PpcCamTimer.exe file.



Explanation of the settings
Setting Examples Explanation
Camera Application Camera.exe Name of the standard camera application. This is started with a (true) restart of PpcCamTimer.exe.
Timer Interval 10000 Timer interval for automatic taking pictures in milliseconds (min. 100, 0 .. no automatic taking)
Virtual Key 0D Virtual key code for the automatic shutter release and for releasing the still image after a specified time
Still Duration 5000 Time, after that the still image is to be released in milliseconds (min. 100, 0 .. no automatic release). Set to > 0 if the camera application does not automatically release the still image.

I wonder how this will get affected if a call comes in or alerts go off. Will it run in the background or does the cam app have to be running in the foreground?

[tronk]

thanks for the great find:D

What would be ideal is not that appeared onscreen in the camera lens, but it would execute in the background, did not think?:rolleyes:

[cacca]

yes, the program itself does a good job of taking pictures at a specified interval, but it doesn't create the video file and it's not much user friendly, peralphs some talented coder could write a more complete solution? isn't this the right place to ask for such things ;p
