Hi all,
 My camera outputs image sequences (i.e. a series of 1000 or so frames).
I then take them into IJ and create .avis out of them for further
analysis. I've got about 50 folders, each with a 1000 frame sequence in
it. Each sequence is about 500MB in size, so IJ limits the number I can
make to 1 at a time. Is there an easy way to do something like "make an
separate .avi with the same name as the folder from which the image
sequences come from, for each folder in a dir ? " I can't seem to figure
it out. Currently I just do this by hand but it can take a long time to
do 50 of these, and a simple little macro would be nice. I'm not sure if
it matters, but I'm running IJ on windows so shell scripts wont work :(


thanks,
