mencoder can do the job.  See

Don't work too hard on getting the list of files to work, at least be warned if 
you do.  I put the resulting error message into Google and the first link was a 
patch with a question about where to send it.  Helpful, if not encouraging.  
Listing the frame files on the command line does work; I am not sure when any 
limits on the length of the command line would strike. 

Note that I pass a collection of closures rather than forms; the hope is that 
it will be less resource hungry than creating all of the frames at one time.

Subject: [Pharo-project] Beyond animated gif?

Hello all,

I have a growing number of annotated images and thought it would be nice to 
make a movie out of them.  Following the example of an animated gif, I had a 
result a LOT faster than I expected, but the quality is really poor.  Maybe 
setting a palette would help, but I'm wondering if there are other/better ways? 
 Extra credit goes to any solution that can be driven from within Pharo or at 
least w/o littering my drive with lots of images, but I'll take what I can get 
if the quality is right.

images2mpg has been mentioned in a few places, but it is playing hard to get.

Bill
