Richard, It is fair to say that scenes and mdo commands are effectively distinct through the PyMOL 1.0x releases. One can either program movies manually (via mdo, mview, scene, movie.rock, movie.roll, etc.), or one can deliver presentations live from within PyMOL using scenes (stored in sessions).
Things are improving however in the open-source code, and version 1.1 will fuse the two approaches in a more reasonable way. For clarification: 'mmatrix' is an old command just for setting up the intial view matrix. The more recent 'mview' command is what you need to use to associate a particular matrix with a particular frame, and it is also what you use to interpolate between views.
