You can assemble a collection of jpegs into an mpeg file with mpeg_encode, part of the Berkeley MPEG tool collection. http://bmrc.berkeley.edu/frame/research/mpeg/index.html , debian package is called ucbmpeg. I'm not entirely sure if it's the sort of thing you're looking for - the documentation in the example configs specifies a small range of frame rates, with a minimum of 24fps. If it's a slideshow type deal with images from a regular digicam, then you'll need something else. But it works quite well - check http://slug.org.au/~peter/installfest.mpg for a 7MB time-lapse video assembled from webcam images shot at the recent installfest. :-) -- Pete -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
