I loaded CHDK firmware on my old Canon IXUS 980IS and took 796 images, each weighing in at:
JPEG 4416x3312 4416x3312+0+0 8-bit sRGB 9.182MB 0.050u 0:00.049
So I want to convert 796 images into a movie. Each still could be a frame in a 24fps movie, so:
796 / 24 = 30 sec = half a minute video
FFMPEG fails with Killed
x264 [error]: malloc of size 83759040 failedime=00:00:00.-4 bitrate=N/A
Video encoding failed
Killed
I guess the 4GB of RAM isn't enough memory. But why can't FFMPEG simply build the movie in a memory efficient manner?
Gstreamer fails

before the output name. Are you using a 32 or 64-bit build?
