For learning timelapse and testing purpose Silence Pic is unbeatable feature. I'm using it for testing motorized timelapse slider and it's motor/camera controller. I'm doing lots off shoots while testing and without this function my camera would be in the middle/end of it's shutter resource. Problem we are facing - slow image conversation from *.422 files to well known formats. For example in Intel Xeon E5606 2,13GHz, 4 Core and 6GB RAM workstation original ML program converted only 1.6 frames per second.
Software:
Idea was to make fast and useful software for this job. After same work with I finished with it. Programming was done with C# language in Visual Studio 2010 environment.
Compare:
In mentioned Intel Xeon E5606 workstation this software doing 35 frames per second performance. To compare speed I made few videos in my home PC (using V1.0 version).
422-jpg-v2.exe processing 100 pictures in 1024x680:
My software processing same files:
And one more time my software doing 999 pictures:
At the end this software looks promising. Now to convert lots of files we do not need to wait long time. Event with one core CPU this program doing it's job faster because software constructing new image using Fast Bitmap methodology. After some works in spare time software now have HDR image generation, resize, rotate, crop options. Nowaday we are facing v1.6 version but with help with users developing continues.

Windows binaries could be downloaded here: https://bitbucket.org/mindogas/422toimage/downloads
Visual Studio 2010 source code: https://bitbucket.org/mindogas/422toimage/src
I think someone will find this software usable. I'm looking forward to continue developing and upgrading this software so all suggestion and bug reports are welcome.
