I tried looking googling for compositing programs and quicktime pro (for linux), but had no luck finding a download site for either programs...If anyone could post a direct link, it would be most useful, thanks! ---

I've used mencoder from the mplayer package with some success. eg: (in the dir with the jpg images...) mencoder \*.jpg -mf on:w=640:h=480:type=jpg:fps=15 -vop scale=320:240 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4 -o output.avi You can get mplayer from [here](http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/) which will also give you one of the more capable linux media players aswell as the encoder. Without having to install a complete non-linear video editing system. [Here](http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/encoding.html) is the relevant mencoder documentation from the [mplayer documentation](http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/documentation.html) Gef :] ---

I believe you have to compile mplayer in order to take advantage of all the extra quicktime codecs(sorenson) like quicktime and media player. The precompiled rpm's dont have them by default. Mpeg and divx ability comes with the rpm by default I believe. [http://ftp.lug.udel.edu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/](http://ftp.lug.udel.edu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/) ---
