Check out
http://www.arc.umn.edu/GVL/Software/mpeg.html
This page describes how to make MPEG files on UNIX systems.
It also provides a handy script to automate the process.
I have used it to make MPEGs out of a sequence of .GIF files
produced by IDL.

I don't believe IDL can do this directly. I have a couple of applications
that are used to create a series of image files and then I use an external
program to put them into a movie format. In my case, I create QuickTime
(QT) movies for Macs quite often. I tell IDL to output PICT files in an
alphabetical sequence (i.e. image.01, image.02, etc.) and then I use an
application called "Picts to Movie" to create a QT format movie. It works
nicely, but a one-step process would be a big improvement. I'd like to
know if there are similar "images to movie" (i.e. SRF to MPEG) programs
for UNIX.

First write to GIF files, then convert to mpeg by mpeg_encode.
