Hi Kazik,

Your clock is wrong BTW. Remember, remember it's the 5th of November!

Here's a weird way for you. 

Get Open Office 1.1.
File New Presentation.
Place a JPG on each page.
Save the presentation.
Export as Flash...
Load Flash to your website and place inside HTML.
View the 'film' on line!

You can assemble a collection of jpegs into an mpeg file with
mpeg_encode, part of the Berkeley MPEG tool collection.
http://bmrc.berkeley.edu/frame/research/mpeg/index.html , debian package
is called ucbmpeg.

I'm not entirely sure if it's the sort of thing you're looking for - the
documentation in the example configs specifies a small range of frame
rates, with a minimum of 24fps.  If it's a slideshow type deal with
images from a regular digicam, then you'll need something else.

But it works quite well - check
http://slug.org.au/~peter/installfest.mpg for a 7MB time-lapse video
assembled from webcam images shot at the recent installfest. :-)

I know a friend converted a bunch of JPEGs to motion JPEG with some
free tools some years back.

A quick google search turned up this, which sounds superior:

[SLUG] animation

2003-11-04 Thread kazik
Hello all!

I would like to know how or if I can use my digital camera to make a
little animated film under Linux.
It´s a bog standard Fuji Finepix that takes stills as JPEGS and I would
like to know how I can string them all together. Any tips on software,
conversion processes, formats and editing would be very welcome.

Many Thanks in advance

Kaz
