I cut and pasted the shell script into my /bin and I was good to go! Thanks for doing the work for me!! Much appreciated.

Just to say that I've changed some part of the script to get 720x576 videos at high bps output (=high quality) Maybe I will automate it so the parameters can be set from command line. ------------------- mkdir ffmpeg_temp ffmpeg -i $1 -r $3 -f image2 ffmpeg_temp/%05d.png ffmpeg -i ffmpeg_temp/%05d.png -s 720x576 -b 9000k $2 rm -rf ./ffmpeg_temp Hi.

Did some good work for me ;) I am interested in the "reverse"-Script too ;) Yep. I know. I could do it all on my own - BUT - there is so much interesting to learn in this world that i need 1000Days per Day to do all the things that i want - so sometimes just copying a script i good. Writing it again would be useless ;) Can i post this script in my just growing and absolutely chaotic Video-on-Linux-Wiki-Project? Peace, ;j Cool Script. Did some good work for me ;)

In addition to the time lapse, I was also able to modify your script to reverse a video, which is another effect I hadn't found elsewhere. Thanks!
