Re: making movie from eps files

[Jonathan Stickel]

I have what I think is a good method for producing a movie (an .avi 
file) from Octave produced graphs/images.  First, you will want to 
convert your .eps files to an image format (.png or .jpg); you can use 
"convert" from ImageMagick.  Then you can use mencode (part of mplayer) 
to sequence the images into a movie.  Here is the command I use, 
executed in the directory where the image files reside:

$ mencoder mf://*.jpg -mf fps=20:type=jpg -ovc lavc -lavcopts 
vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=5000 -o output.avi

The man page for mplayer/mencode provide details for all the options.

HTH,
Jonathan
