convert command not working on windows

[andy_b42]

Hi guys, im a complete novice with ImageMagick, but i need to be able to convert a folder of gif images into an mpg video file.

I am using this command:

Code: Select all

convert -delay 4 -quality 100 -resize 486x720! *gif movie.mpg

When i run this in linux, it creates the video fairly quickly, however, i need this to work in windows, but all this command seems to do in windows (vista and xp) is use up a lot of memory and not much else.

Any ideas on where i am going wrong?

Thanks

I am not a Windows user or expert, but see special processing notes for Windows (especially about convert conflict).

Also the convert syntax usually has the input image before the options. In this case, I think you want to put *.gif right after the -delay 4
