Has anyone run across CMPEG dying because of "malloc failed" before?  If
not, what could one use, on either a Windows box or Linux box, to
compile a 1000-frame animation?  I have tried the Berkeley encoder for
Linux mentioned earlier in this group, but cannot get it to compile on
RedHat 6.1  Does anyone know of any other programs that might be able to
handle this?
Thanks,
-Alex V.

Is it the length of the animation, or the size of each image?

CMPEG puked a "malloc failed" for me when I tried a 30 frame 800x600
animation, but had no problems with a 300 frame 320x240 animation.

Grumble.  That would be the problem; they were also 800x600.  So how does one
resize 1000 images?
Thanks,

A batch in PhotoShop or PSP (I believe the latter has batch support),
DTA, ImageMagick are several possibilities.

The latest IrfanView can batch-resize, PSP 5 cannot.

You can also try mpeg2encode:

The original can be found at ftp.mpeg.org/pub/mpeg/mssg/

Someone added png support and recompiled it as a Win32 console program:
