Make movie of JPEG images - how?
I have an webcam (Creative Quickcam Pro 4000) and use a linux box to upload the images to the net every minute.

What I want is to store all the images from the last day (~1440 images) and make a movie of the images every hour. I have already made a script that saves all the images in one folder and remove all images older than 24 hours.

How do I convert this images to a movie? I guess it exist a few guides on the topic, but I can't find any... Thanks.

You can use the "convert" program from ImageMagik, it should be as easy as something like:
Code:
convert *jpg mymovie.mpg
there should be more options avalible, and they're probably documented in the man pages ("man convert").

follow up on the convert tip..
If you run into trouble with the convert program and get error messages like "can not find mpeg2encode" or something similar, then check out
