Just FYI, ImageMagick simply does this

encoding:
mpg=>
mpeg2decode -q -b %i -f -r -o3 %o%%05d
/usr/app/bin/convert -concatenate %o*.ppm %o

yuv<=mpg
mpeg2encode %u %o
/usr/app/bin/convert -concatenate %i*.yuv %u

So using mpeg2encode gives you the same or more options.

RE: creating animated gifs -> making MPEG movies

I've no experience with 'convert' and it's 'mpg' features, but I have
successfully used the 'mpeg2encode' to animate small movies.

I've put an example of some stuff I did a while ago at
http://www.mungewell.uklinux.net/spotlite.mpg (508KBytes) the individual
frames were made with Povray, but could be any source

Hope this helps
