Skip jpeg by specifing RGBFormat, convert BufferedImage to Buffer with
javax.media.util.ImageToBuffer.createBuffer, set descriptor to
ContentDescriptor.RAW.

As long as your image format is lossless, you shouldn't have any
problems with compression artefacts. PNG, BMP, etc. would work just as well
as TIFF.

You should probably leave the compressing to the codecs, rather than
"doing it yourself". In fact, if you try to do your own compression, and
then pass it to a codec, you may make the codec's job harder, particularly
if your compression is lossy. The codec won't be able to tell what are
artefacts introduced via lossy compression, and what is significant detail
to reproduce in the video stream.

I found a Java class that is supposed to encode AVI files without JMF in an application called "CubeTwister". I have not tested it yet but it might be worth checking out. The source code looks OK as well.

Just search for CubeTwister and you find it (tried to add a link but I am not allowed due to the 50 post threshold).

Check out the AVIOutputStream class.

Hi, I know this thread is really old but since it came up near the top in a Google search on JMF I'm going to add a bit of new knowledge to it that would have helped me out about a week ago.

There's a great library package called Xuggle that does exactly what this guy wanted to do, create a video out of static images. It's much easier to use than JMF and actually current and supported.

Here's a tutorial on how to create a video from screenshots of your desktop:
