After the first test and long going fights with several Software notifications I finally was able to produce a 24h fast motion video of ADS-B Flight-Movements. Hope you enjoy.

As I was asked by PM:

I'm using snag-it of TechSmith corporation, which is a very powerful Software that allows you several capturing options. Like delayed start of capture, time-intervalled capturing, free choice of capturing area, several different capture types as Video, Picture, Screen and Web -Capturing. The biggest disadvantage of Snag-It is, that you have to spend money to get it.

I hope that in the future we will have some more users that are producing such fast-motion vids. Especially the traffic of the big hubs like EGLL, LFPG or EDDF would be a great thing.

neroon, this is really sweet - could you tell how you created a youtube friendly video from all those stills?

[neroon79]

Hi daelight, first all avi files are youtube friendly files.  The converting / recording to the file-format youtube is using is done by youtube.

To get from the Image-Sequence to an avi I used the program VitualDubMod an offspring of the well known VirtualDub program.

Key parameters:

1. Images have to be named from 0000.jpg incremental upward counted (e.g.: 00000.jpg, 00001.jpg, ..., 07800.jpg)

2. Import Image-Sequence to VirtualDubMod. Do some configurations: Resize, Framerate, Compresion Style, Color / Contrast modifications, Save Image Sequence as avi File. VirtualDubMod and the installed Codec-Package are doing the rest.

3. For a detailed step-by-step description please don't hesitate to contact me via PM.

Thank neroon,

I am running Airnav inside a VM on my Macbook - tried Snag-IT but the VM would tank after a few minutes with memory errors. Found ScreenNinja in the App Store and it does all the work in that easy Mac way (Not blasting Wintel platform!) Here`s a first attempt, a 5 hour capture in 3 mins ....
