[yt-users] How do you make movies?

[Geoffrey So]

This might be similar to ffmpeg, or uses ffmpeg in the background.  I use
the binary from:

http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/news.html

encoding script, just run it in the same folder as the images or call the
script at the image location:

~/Movies/mplayer/mencoder mf://*.png -mf w=800:h=600:fps=5:type=png \
-ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:mbd=2:trell \
-lavcopts vbitrate=15000 -oac copy -o output.mpg

You can control the image formats, bit rate to change the size of the
output.mpg, and w;h;fps controls the width, height, and frame per sec.
 From playing with different codecs, mpeg4 seems playable by windows
machines and my mac OSX 10.7.4 with VLC player installed just fine, I
haven't asked a person to try on a linux box.
