I am currently trying to make a screen recorder.
I made list of bitmap images and want to put them in an .avi file.
Is there anyway to do that in C#?
note: i'm a novice, so keep things simple
Try SharpAvi library. Its sources include a sample screen recording application.
Try this site which has downloadable examples as well: A Simple C# Wrapper for the AviFile Library.

I have swf file's that's contains 2D images (here one of them: http://mapviewer.ru/img/tramvay/depo_d.swf )
I need draw this image (like seen in my browser), to bitmap.
Maybe i need convert this file to image (png, jpg)? No matter how, but it should be done programmatically.

Have you tried to look at this library ?
There are no embedded images inside the SWF file, only Vector shapes, which means you would need to both parse the SWF and render the data that is inside, so taking a screenshot of it is probably your best option. There are a lot of ways of doing this, but you could simply load the Flash Active-x in your application and take a screenshot. Here's how to load the SWF : Displaying Flash content in a C# WinForms application
recently i have started workin on project of my own which is capturing a camera output using DirectShow .Net. There are few problems that i don't know how ot solve
1) How can i encode the captured stream into H.264 format.I understand i should some how add filter in the filter graph. But i wasn't able to find where and how . Also i was not able to find if there is standart H.264 filter or should i download it form some where? If i need to download it can it just be a dll to wich i add reference or should it be installer?
2) Is there a way to save the captured output into a memory object, some kind of stream or it can only be written to file?
Best Regards,
Iordan
You're can use commercial software from VisioForge or Viscomsoft.
AForge potencial problem - no audio during capture, only video. Also output formats is a very limited. But - it's free and open source, if you're have any DirectShow experiense you can add audio support.
You will need to use something like FFMpeg or Handbrake. Check out http://vidcoder.codeplex.com/.
AForge also has some video editing abilities and you can also pass filters to it. There are also several FFMpeg C# wrappers you could use such as https://github.com/crazyender/FFMPEG.net
You should use AForge.net. All of the hard work is done for you already. Use VideoFileWriter http://www.aforgenet.com/framework/docs/html/4ee1742c-44d3-b250-d6aa-90cd2d606611.htm. I appears that the AForge framework uses FFMpeg under the hood as well (See AForge.Video.FFMPEG namespace). You just create a writer and pass it the bitmap/frame writer.WriteVideoFrame(bitmap);
You should fully investigate the video abstractions in AForge. You could save yourself considerable amounts of time.
Example: http://www.aforgenet.com/framework/samples/video.html
1) Yes, You should download encoder filter library. Most of decoders are supplied with free. But encoder is not. If you don't want to pay, you have to find open source Encoder.
And To use at the graphedit program, you should do dll register with that dll file. Or the installer program do this instead. And you also need to check container type like mp4, mkv... In other words you need mux filter to save that in a file. I think someone will link available urls. Sorry I don't have urls now.
2)What is that the means of capture? Is that Movie? or Image?
In case of Image, There are many sample projects and SampleGrabbers. You can save it to both of a file and memory.
In case of Movie, I'm sure your pc memory is not enougth to them with out encoding. Make memory stream and pass it to capture manager.
You can also make a filter in order to customize filter to your needs. All of information are included in Windows SDK samples.
Is there any simple way to open and display multipage .tif files? I want to write a simple winForm application to open multiple page .tif file and scrolling around these pages? I want to add next and previous buttons to my project to scroll around them. Any suggestions or examples?
Try the free DotImage Photo SDK by Atalasoft. Though it is not open source, it is free and a very good choice for viewing images.
Meanwhile I will have a look if AForge.Net and EmguCV can open Multipage TIFF images and let you know. These frameworks are open source and include very powerful SDKs for image processing.
I know an SDK named leadtools that has the ability to load and display multipage TIF files using .NET. For a sample code, see the following link:
http://www.leadtools.com/help/leadtools/v175/dh/to/leadtools.topics~leadtools.topics.loadingsavingtutorials.html
I have a list of Bitmaps, how can I convert it to avi file using c#.net. Or how can we convert a set of images to video file ?
I do not need AVI to "Set of images", but I need "Set of Images" to AVI.
i used avifile wrapper in the past, work nicely
I think you need to use third party libraries
There is AVI File Wrapper or you can use ffmpeg in .NET.
Old question, but I have two tips to achieve it. We're now 2013, but all answers are good from 2004 to 2013. These answers are useful as it seems programmers rarely take the time to work on new encoders solution, and we often rely on the same old DLL and wrappers.
Images to MPEG-1
Based on this code, http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/5834/A-C-MPEG1-Image-Compression-Class, you can write a C# Images to MPEG-1 class compatible on any platform using C#.
Images to AVI
Convert just an image with 24 bits color (try to use a gradient generator to have the maximum number of colors) to a full frame AVI using ffmpeg. Take an hexadecimal editor, check how the header of the AVI is, and how the single image has been placed in the AVI. Now do it with two images. Check the header. Refer to the specification to know which value use in the header. You'll see you can easily build a Images to AVI from scratch without any wrapper, and use it on any platform.
Both are codes from scratch.
You can check out a simple library for writing AVI files that I've coded to use in my projects.

The sources include a sample screencast app which can be easily adapted to get the bitmaps from files if you need it.
I have been trying to create a decoder that will stream through a pcx file and display it on screen as a bitmap. I have managed to get the information from the image header by using a binary reader, but I have now reached the part that seems to take the least amount of code, yet is also the hardest: creating an array of pixels.
I understand that i may need to add two embeddded for loops to process the data. I have looked at some C and C++ examples, but struggle to understand them. I also need to get the array to display it. if you need more code then I will share it.
I have searched far and wide and read the spec, but I don't know how to approach this. If anyone could help me, I would be very grateful.
Regards.
The .NET does not support PCX images natively, you have two choices. Read the specification and decode the image by yourself or use some library.
As suggested on bytes.com you can use Dot Net Fireball (a Free Image wrapper) and load the image like this:
Fireball.Drawing.FreeImage freeImage = new FreeImage(#"c:\test.pcx");
Image image = freeImage.GetBitmap();

a nice wrapper working with http://imagemagick.codeplex.com/
easy to setup and get going, see samples at the bottom of the page here:
