tiff to MPEG-1

[GDHough]

I have had good results using the mencoder portion of MPlayer. I believe there 
is limited support for creating MPEG's with mencoder, but it would be better 
to build an AVI container and then convert to MPEG-1 with some other tool.

Create an AVI from all TIFF's in a directory:

[farmer6re9]$ mencoder \*.tiff -mf on:fps=25:type=tiff -o temp.avi -ovc lavc 
-lavcopts vbitrate=1800:vhq:keyint=132

Then use something like mplex to convert to MPEG-1, although I've never tried 
it myself.

You could do conversions with the GIMP. I prefer to use a one-liner:

mogrify -format jpeg *.tiff
