Our recommendation is to start with a PostScript (PS) file, and then use “convert” from the ImageMagick suite of tools to convert the PS file to an MPEG file. Please follow the instructions above on how to get the ImageMagick tools installed on your system. You will also need to download the program “mpeg2encode”. The source code for this can be downloaded from: http://www.mpeg.org/MSSG/ From here you want to download the source code for “mpeg2vidcodec”. The “mpeg2encode” code is pretty straightforward to build (in the directory mpeg2/src/mpeg2enc).
