EasyBMPtoAVI project, a Movie Creator, is a cross-platform application that converts a series of windows bitmap (BMP) images to an AVI movie file. Currently, EasyBMPtoAVI Movie Creator is supported on little-endian (e.g., x86) machines on any platform, but big-endian support is expected soon.

Scientists may find this software particularly useful for creating animated visualizations from series of still images.

EasyBMPtoAVI Movie Creator provides a simple command line interface (CLI) that is consistent across platforms, and it interactively quizzes the user if any necessary information is missing. EasyBMPtoAVI Movie Creator is being designed with ease of use as a top goal. To that end, a graphical user interface (GUI) is planned for a future release.

The EasyBMPtoAVI project was first begun on SourceForge on May 19, 2006.
