I'm not sure, but ucmpeg could be limited in its filesize, try to resize your files so that they match 4:3 exactly. I think ucmpeg is what gimp requires for the movie-plugin to wor, so try that out, it will create a config file that works. > 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).. you could try mng (which is an animated png). creation is just as slow as gif creation, and the format is not very well supported by viewer applications. > 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. Go to marillat.free.fr, there are apt-gettable mplayer packages ready for use, what you want is mplayer-k6. joerg -- I hate MS outlook -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
