    How can I convert a .jpg image to an .eps?

    ImageMagick can do this.

    From the commandline, simply type:

    convert filename.jpg filename.eps

    (On Windows you may need to put in the full path to convert.exe inside quotation marks; the above will work as-is on OS X or linux.)

    It doesn't really make any sense to convert a raster graphic to a vector graphic, however. It'll still be rasterized.

    Another way of doing it with a GUI would be to use Inkscape; I'm pretty sure it can import most formats, and it definitely can export to .eps — it does have some ways of trying to trace paths in a vector image to recreate the vectors, but it's far from failsafe.

    Just be sure to "embed" rather than "link" when you import.

    You need a "stopmotion" maker: here's an overview of them, and one to download: CellSoft Take5 1.30

    If you're linux, there's a "stopmotion" package ready for one-click-install.

    1. download and run Portable Movie Maker

    2. import images

    3. drag and drop images to the story board

    4. save movie ... done and dusted.

    Picasa 3 has a feature that does exactly this - basically, it saves the slideshow into a saved video file - works nicely.

    Version 1:

    cat ~/scripts/compile_movie.sh 
#!/bin/sh
mencoder "mf://*.jpg" -fps $1 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=1400 -ffourcc DIVX -vf scale=640:360 -o $2

    usage: ./compile_move.sh 30 myFile.mp4 editing the bitrate, codec, etc is straightforward.

    Version 2: 

    cat ~/scripts/compile_pngs_to_flash_movie.sh 
#!/bin/bash
#
# usage:
#./compile_pngs_to_flash_movie.sh  my_funky_movie.flv

output_movie="$1"
mencoder mf://*.png -mf w=736:h=246:fps=20:type=png -of lavf -ffourcc FLV1 -ovc lavc -   lavcopts vcodec=flv -o "${output_movie}"
