Once I tried AbelCam, I was hooked
MaxC has reviewed many software packages to stream video from his site.
He has purchased and tested 23 programs for streaming and they all failed to meet his requirements with two exceptions: MS MediaEncoder and AbelCam.

Traffic time lapses
AbelCam comes with a program to convert series of JPEG images to video, JPEG2Video.
Last weekend I spent in a different part of Switzerland.
I set up a webcam in the car to take images.
On the way there I took a snapshot every 10 seconds.
Here's the video that results from these 1400 snapshots, replay at a 12fps:
The result looks ok on the Autobahn, but on the smaller roads in the Berner Oberland the 10 seconds are too long to keep a context between the images.
On the way back I did the same with 1 frame per second.
With the 9000 images, I created a 24fps video:
Now this looks much better!
If you like this route, here's the Google Earth KML file recorded with a Sony GPS-CS1

Translation Troubles
AbelCam has been translated to seven languages by various users.
Partial translation to Finnish, French, Portuguese, Spanish and Slovenian are currently available, in the next release Finnish will be complete and partial translations for Swedish and Dutch will be added.
The slovenian translator, Tom Placer, reported a special problem. Most slovenian users run their windows in english with localized keyboard settings. As .NET uses the culture of the operating system for the application, his translation was not coming up when he ran AbelCam.
Today I wrote a wrapper, SetCulture.exe , which allows to select the culture used for AbelCam. Basically it allows to select the culture, loads the AbelCam assembly, starts a new thread, sets the culture for that thread and then runs AbelCams entry point.
The culture can be selected eighter from the command line or through a popup form.
This works fine, all languages are now selectable. SetCulture.exe will be included in the next release of AbelCam with shortcut to all installed languages.
