well for now I think I have to settle on imagemagick. it can convert a bunch of images(even jpeg) to an animated gif. I installed ucbmpeg, and also mjpegtools but both immediately segfault when processing the first JPG file. Actually I was able to get mjpegtools to create a YUV file without errors, but once I tried to convert that to MPEG it segfaulted. imagemagick isn't fast, on my 1.3ghz athlon/768MB it takes 3 minutes 36 seconds to convert 18 23kb files into a 2.6meg animated gif. I suppose I could recompile and turn on gif compression to see how much it drops in size(yeah I know about the LZW patent).. I'll look into mplayer as well, someone mentioned it can convert to AVI, ucbmpeg was easy to compile a deb, and mjpegtools had a downloadable deb, mplayer looks a tad more complicated. thanks! nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
