OK - apologies if I was somewhat vague in my requirements!
1) There is a directory structure with very many (several thousand) directories containing a large amount of .jpg files. 2) I have a perl script that runs periodically and using criteria stored in a mysql database identifies a subset of these files (based on a number of criteria stored within the db). 3) The files identified in 2) will be spread across a number of directories with not all files in any single directory necessarily included. 4) I wish to convert these images into a video running at (say) 10 fps using reasonably high compression which can later be viewed from Linux & Windows clients. 5) The number of images identified in each run (probably daily) will range from a few dozen to a few thousand with each image in the range 20-80k. Hope thats clearer!
