Movie encoder from .ppm frames

D.P. · 20 Jan 2008 at 15:52

Whats the easiest way to create a move from a directory of still frames that are in .ppm format?
I know I can convert the file format in batch if need be.

I know of mencoder but the last time I tried this I spent hours and hours and got nowhere.

might be easier if you had a gui for mencoder?

maybe:
I'm trying to install: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kmencoder/

Code:

sudo dpkg --install kmencoder_0.1.2-1_i386.deb
Selecting previously deselected package kmencoder.
(Reading database ... 285227 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking kmencoder (from kmencoder_0.1.2-1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of kmencoder:
 kmencoder depends on kdelibs4 (>= 4:3.0.6); however:
  Package kdelibs4 is not installed.
 kmencoder depends on xlibs (>> 4.1.0); however:
  Package xlibs is not installed.
dpkg: error processing kmencoder (--install):

I installed and upgraded what I could through adept. Is this problem due to me having an old version of KDE?

That's what it says... but I'm sure that there are versions out there which will depend on "older" versions of kde. kde 4 is still in beta after all and there have been front ends for mencoder almost as long as mencoder has been around.
