How to create a video from an array of images in Android?
You can use jcodec SequenceEncoder to convert sequence of images to MP4 file.
Sample code :
import org.jcodec.api.awt.SequenceEncoder;
...
SequenceEncoder enc = new SequenceEncoder(new File("filename"));
// GOP size will be supported in 0.2
// enc.getEncoder().setKeyInterval(25);
for(...) {
BufferedImage image = ... // Obtain an image to encode
enc.encodeImage(image);
}
enc.finish();
It's a java library so it's easy to import it into Android project, you don't have to use NDK unlike ffmpeg.
Refer http://jcodec.org/ for sample code & downloads.
How to encode images into a video file in Java through programming?
Xuggler is deprecated, use Humble-Video instead. It already comes with some demo projects, including how to take screenshots and convert it to a video file: RecordAndEncodeVideo.java

I am using it for real time using on a webapp.
If you will gonna stream this in real time you will need a RTSP server. You can either use big frameworks like Red 5 Server, Wowza Streaming Engine or you can built your own server using Netty which has a built in RTSP codec since version 3.2.
Encode array of image objects to movie file
If you're talking about encoding into a standard format like H.264 or Web.M, then you should use your Java server and the bindings to FFmpeg or whatever your preferred video library is. Many JavaScript clients are not fast enough to encode video, and pre-existing software does not exist for this task. I'd think that Internet Explorer would be problematic in particular, because of how low it's interpreted JS engine is compared to the JIT compilers in projects like Gecko or Webkit.
Converting a series of images to a video in Java?
I'd suggest just learning how to call external programs from your java program. Then you can just run that example program you linked to. Or if you want even more capability, use ffmpeg which will do this automatically from the command line as well:
ffmpeg -i screencapture%d.jpg -vcodec mpeg4 outfile.avi
ffmpeg allows you to customize a lot of things about the output video. Just check out the documentation for all the options.
The Java command Runtime.getRuntime().exec(...) will let you run whatever command line you pass it. There are many examples of how to do this if you Google it.
java/xuggle - encode array of images into a movie
There is an example for this on Xuggle Wiki (Wayback Archive link, as it appears to be dead) (obviously, replace calls to Balls with your array).
How to generate avi video from images?
use ffmpeg it is free and run on cmd line. on cmd line with ffmpeg cmd and input images as arugemnts and set some params and it will do your job.
