Hi
I'd like to know how I can cut down a .avi file and make a .gif file out of it.

I want to create a Proram you can use to ripoff episode-changing gags from the Intro. This is (more or less) useful for Series like The Simpsons or American Dad

Thanks.

Sincerely:
Jonas

It will require a lot of code, more than we can share here. Where exactly are you stuck?

Try FFMPEG binary executable to which you can feed in console commands and get the gif image from a video file and you have more advanced options like time interval of frame etc...

ffmpeg -i video.avi -t 5 out.gif

Another approach for the same view: http://www.ffmpeg-csharp.com/. Not free though :(

ffmpeg is free, but the c# wrapper is not.

oh i just see that's not a free wrapper. Maybe some generous developer shared his wrapper. I think this is exactly the same

Yea, I'd like to program it instead of just using the Software of someone else.
