I used IDL to write out my images as GIF. Then I used the PBMplus util
GIFtoPPM to make a PPM file.

The UNIX program I used is MPEG_ENCODE on a SUN workstation. Another
person gave me the EXE and he couldn't remember the FTP site. I located
CMPEG10 and DMPEG10 with ARCHIE. They are DOS programs that will take a
PPM or Targa file and make a MPEG animation sequence. The UNIX program,
MPEG_ENCODE takes a series of PPM files and converts them to MPEG. I
found CMPEG easier to use, but it only handle small files. MPEG_ENCODE
handles larger files, but very difficult to use. I was lucky to find
someone that toyed with MPEG_ENCODE before.
