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.
