I have imagemagick installed on my debian system and thus I have convert. Convert however needs mpeg2encode to create mpegs and a 'apt-cache search mpeg' doesn't shot a hit for mpeg2econde. Has this software somehow violated the GPL and been removed? If I recall it was bundled in past releases.
What about ffmpeg? Has anyone used this software to create mpegs from a group of jpegs? Greg My motion install on Ubuntu 6.06 uses ffmpeg (that's the package name) to do on-the-fly conversion between the jpegs and avi. The relevant line in the config file is: # Encode movies in real-time (install ffmpeg before enabling) ffmpeg_cap_new on Works fine, but you have to play around with the webcam_maxrate and framerate variables to get them to play nice together. The symptoms of not playing nice are videos that play way too fast.
