How to Programmatically Convert .JPEG Images to Video (.WM..

Hello All,

First, I apologize for posting this to so many newsgroups. I just wasn't
sure which group would be the best place.

I know that Windows Movie Maker can be used to select a group of images and
convert it to a Windows Video (.WMV) file.

I was wondering if someone knows how or has a code snippet for performing
this task programmatically?

I wish to programmatically loop through a directory and convert all .jpeg
images into a singular Windows Video (.WMV) file. Although C# would be my
language of choice, any example would be very welcome.

Thanks & Regards,

TC
