Thanks, I shall experiment with ffmpeg. But I also need a guide: = how to prevent conflicts between ffmpeg and weewx
= how to upload the sky images (can weewx handle this?) = how to cause alysonwonderland.org to display the sky images (right now, visiting alysonwonderland.org automatically causes display of the weather data) I am computer-literate, but also a bit old and slow.
