[oclug] Making Movies.

There was a presentation at the Open Source Weekend about Perl and
time-lapsed movies.  If I remember correctly, Stephen Jenkins used
ImageMagick's convert to do this:

  convert *.jpg video.mpg  (syntax may be off)

I tried some of the stuff that he did at the presentation, and found
that newer versions of ImageMagick didn't include the program needed for
mpeg conversion.  Instead, I used the following:

  jpeg2yuv -f 25 -I p -j image%04d.jpg | mpeg2enc -o video.mpg 

Where image%04d represents the image file name, numbered in sequence. 
The commands used are a part of the mjpeg tools package.


Cheers.
