Hi Doug,
to my knowledge IDL does not provide direct support for reading MPEG.
However, there is some code around which provides this functionality, e.g.
http://www.tasc-infm.it/research/xstm/staff/heun/idl/pro_hel p.html#READ_MPEG
This is just a wrapper which calls external software to convert the
movie into a sequences of still images. I would do it using mplayer
which also offers jpeg as output format.
mplayer -vo jpeg hhh.avi
will generate still images which can be read with read_jpeg. For gray
scale images it is fairly easy to stack them into a FITS data cube. In
case of RGB frames one has to think of how to interleave them.
Perhaps you can be a bit more specific why do you want to do this
conversion?
with kind regards,
Bringfried
