Thanks, Ron, I'll keep that in mind.
For now, I've found IrfanView which seems to be adequate for my needs.
Thanks for the tip, though.
One can never have too many utilities. :)

I love infranview. Very nice for conversion and for flipping through the
irtc zips.

You can use POVRay:
putting an imagemap (with your bmp) on a cube/plane, use an adequate
orthographic camera turn off AA and render... (original size)
be sure to set tgaoutput: "Output_File_Type=T" in inifile
You may use povray 3.5 beta, because there's the solved problem of "camera a
half pixel off"...
and you will have to write a script in povray to get through the 700
filenames...

Ok, you can use IrfanView, just wanted to point out that you can use povray
for many, many imageprocessings

If you want to use cmpeg more, you may set tgaoutput as default; no
converting to tga anymore...

Well, I'm sold.

Of the three MPEG encoders that I've tried, CMPEG is my favorite.

It took a bit getting it to work (and I couldn't get the Windows Front-End
to work for me at all) but both the image quality and the mpeg file size are
better than the other two that I've tried.

It's not as easy to use as the others, but that's ok, I'm a programmer.

One more thing not to worry about as the IRTC deadline looms ever nearer.

You would have to make sure to set POV up to not do gamma 
correction...also, use an ambient of 1 and no light sources. And there 
is still the possibility that it will introduce errors...you should 
really use an image conversion program. On the Mac, GraphicConverter 
would be perfect. The ImageMagick package should be helpful no matter 
what the platform:

I'm pretty sold on the mpeg2enc that comes with the Linux mjpeg tools.
I think there might be a cygwin version available, too.

Maybe the tools here would be helpful:

This bug was promised to be fixed in a future beta, but it isn't fixed yet.

  It's just incredible how *fast* that program is.

  Besides that, it also has network distribution support...

Povray (on windows, anyway) can be used to do this.  Simply code up
a new scene that points an orthogrphic camera at a box that is in
turn image mapped.  Have the clock variable determine which input
file to use.  Don't use anti aliasing.  You might have to tune the
"assumed_gamma" setting to get the brightness/contrast of the
output to match the input.

hmmm

  #frame_to_read = concat("c:\old_pic", str(int(clock * num_of_frames,
0, 0)), ".bmp")

	Or something like that.
