I haven't found software to automate this process. The "pieces" I use are transcode, mplex, mkvcdfs, and cdrdao transcode is from package transcode mplex from mjpegtools mkvcdfs from vcdtools cdrdao from cdrdao I run stable, and I get transcode and mjpegtools from http://marillat.free.fr/ A rough guide follows. #VCD resolution is 352x288 cd $SOURCES for x in *.jpg ; do convert -scale 352x288 $x $FRAMES/$x done find $FRAMES -type f >frames.list f=frames.list cat $f $f $f $f $f $f $f $f $f $f $f $f $f $f $f | sort -o video.list transcode -i video.list -x imlist,null -k -z -g 352x288 -f 1 -y mpeg2enc,null -F 1 -Z 352x288 -H 0 -o vid mplex -f 1 -S 680 -o vid.mpg vid.m1v mkvcdfs vid.mpg cdrdao write --device 0,0,0 --speed 8 vcd.toc --------------------------- The link someone else posted seemed to be mainly Windows and Mac software; it would be cool if there was a way to do all the above directly. I haven't quite managed to add a soundtrack, and one of the programs mentioned seemed to suggest that it was possible to get better results than just making a video out of 352x288 size frames. -- Andrew McGuinness Luton, UK [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
