So that's all that it takes to create and play your own MPEG movie. Remember that the MPEG format does not do well with single-pixel lines, so it's better to use full rendering than mesh images or moving line-graphs. If you're using xrec (Reveur en Couleurs) to create your images, then use a prepend script like:

#!/sbin/ksh
if [[ -z $1 ]] ; then
echo Usage: prepend 'string'
exit 0;
fi
set -A fileList `ls -1 .`
for file in ${fileList[*]}; do
echo prepending $1 to $file
error=`mv $file $1$file`
wait
echo $error
done

This will allow you to add a base name to your files (which are generated with only the required four-digit identifiers) - don't forget to put a full-stop between your base name and the file. For example:
prepend myfile. will result in a makempeg base of "myfile".
