ffmpeg can turn PNG's into MPG-1

Here's a dump of my command and the resulting output:

After investing considerable effort getting two boxes up and running with kanotix linux, I'm finally ready to start tinkering with povray again.

Kanotix Linux rocks!

And here's how to do wireless with it!

knoppix@0[knoppix]$ su root
root@0[knoppix]# iwcongif
bash: iwcongif: command not found
root@0[knoppix]# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.
