There is no way to create an MPEG directly from DX. We've always used
ImageMagick or other post-processing tools to create them from stills
or miffs.

I have ImageMagick and mpegvidcodec installed, and would like to create
a mpeg movie of the data sequences without the need to create a lot of
stills first. I have found that transforming them into jpeg or such,
then creating a movie out of those results in poor picture quality. Is
there a way to say the output directly as a movie file? I tried, but it
does not seem to append the image but rewrite the image. Therefore,
this results in a single frame movie file. I believe that this is what
the writeimage matrix in the reference guide is stating, but I would
like to double check with someone more in the know.
I can save the output as a miff series, but when I try to transform the
miff to mpeg using convert, I get a vbv_delay overflow error. If I
can't generate a mpeg directly from dx (which would be ideal), then I
talk to the ImageMagick people about what a vbv_delay overflow error
is...
Thanks for the help,
