Make images into a movie

Boy2 has been making stop-motion videos using Lego mini-figures.  I found a slick little Linux utility to convert a series of images into an AVI.  VERY useful if you then want to use `kdenlive` to add audio to said video, or edit it otherwise. 

mencoder "mf://*.jpg" -o movie.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mjpeg

At some point, I'll post some of his videos.

`mencoder mf://*.jpg -mf w=800:h=600:fps=5:type=jpg -ovc copy -oac copy -o output.avi`

I used this to create their last one -- made it much quicker.
