Hi, I've only tried something like this a few times but mencoder which comes with mplayer can do this. If you have a bunch of jpgs in a dir you could do `mencoder \*.jpg -mf on:fps=3 -o output.avi -ovc lavc` and it will make a video of it. i'm not absolutely sure but I think mencoder can output only to an avi container, however it can contain video in mjpeg, mpeg1, or avi. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
