On a Linux system you can use the following commands to stick them all together
mencoder mf://*.png -mf fps=25 -ovc x264 -x264encopts bitrate=3000:threads=auto:frameref=8:bframes=0:nob_adapt:direct_pred=auto:subq=7:mixed_refs:nodct_decimat:no_psnr:me=umh:keyint=25 -ofps 25 -nosound -noskip -of rawvideo -o movieLQ.264 This will create a x264 compressed file which you will have to put in a mp4 container using the following command. You can modify the bitrate which is now set to 3000 and the framerate 25 fps. MP4Box -fps 25 -add movieLQ.264 movieLQ.mp4 Best regards, Marius -- Département de Chimie Moléculaire Université Joseph Fourier 301 Rue de la Chimie BP 53, 38041 Grenoble Cedex 9, France Tel +33 (0) 4 76 63 44 03 GnuPG http://db.tt/rr7Hd0Y 2011/11/8 Jason Vertrees <jason.vertr...@schrodinger.com>: > Hi Troels, > > One benefit of the Incentive version of PyMOL is the Files > Save > Movie as ... > MPEG feature.
