Hi everyone,
I'm trying to make an MPEG / MJ2 (or other portable movie file) of
some data, but apparently the IDLgrMPEG object requires an additional
licence I don't have. However, looking at the IDLffMJPEG2000 object,
it doesn't mention anything about needing extra licences, and seems to
let me create files without throwing an error. Unfortunately, I want
something I can embed in a presentation, and I'm not sure .mj2 files
would be suitable - although perhaps I'm missing something simple that
would let me open the resulting file in Windows media player or some
such programme.
I've also had a look at the Ronn Kling's AVI2IDL, which looks great,
but I suspect I'll have to hope for a DLM that gets on with IDL 7. So
far, I've not had any luck trying to write an .avi file with IDL 7.0
by this method.
Otherwise, I guess I'll have to beg or steal some time on a linux box
and have a play with Christian Soeller's write_mpeg. Is this my best
bet?
Thanks,
Chris

Try writing your frames to disk and then calling ffmpeg. It is very
fast, high quality, free, and makes all major movie formats. Finding
a Windows excutable is a bit of a pain, but they are out there. This
has worked well for me in the past.
