Although I've never tried it, it is supposed to be possible to do with a
combination of the PBMPlus package plus a program called mpeg_encode. The
steps are supposedly as follows:

1. Write out the frames of your movie one by one as GIF files.

2. Use giftoppm from the PBMPlus utilities to convert the GIF files to PPM
format.

3. Use mpeg_encode to convert the PPM files to an MPEG movie.

You should be able to find PBMPlus and mpeg_encode at various ftp sites.

Good luck,

Bill Thompson
