you mean like this?
www.iaeste.at/~mbaehr/lego.mpeg (1MB)
www.iaeste.at/~mbaehr/lego3.mpeg (2MB)
both are the same movie with 1539 frames,
one is mpeg1 and the other is mpeg2,
(i have another movie that i'll publish on request)
the pictures have been taken with the builtin camera of my notebook,
so the quality is doe to that and not the encoding.

actually any tool that claims it can encode mpeg should be able to do
it, mjpeg is actually one (rather large) movie format.
i used the mplayer tools: mencoder
however i am still looking for what will produce the best results.
i have another project here waiting for me as well.
the movies taken with my picturebook camera are in mjpeg format,
which is nothing but concatenated jpegs, and i'd like to convert those
to something more compact...
