How to make movie of jpeg images?

It's just very easy to make video/movie on Linux operating system (in my case Fedora).

You can try using 'convert' command in the terminal.

convert *.jpg movie.mpg

Or, you can also try: (just replace the variable with '$' with true values)

mencoder mf://$PIC_DIR/\*.jpg -mf w=$WIDTH:h=$HEIGHT:fps=$FPS:type=jpg -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4 -oac copy -o $DEST_VIDEO

Hope that helps!

How to convert video format using ffmpeg?

FFmpeg allows Linux users to convert video files easily between a variety of different formats.

Today's affordable digital video cameras have placed the power of digital recording within most people's reach.
