images to mpeg conversion prog???

Quick question, whats the easiest way to convert multiple images to a mpeg for import into maestro as a menu? All I'm doing is making a simple animated gif, but needs to be in a format maestro can use.

Thanks.

TMPGenc can do this. Just name/number you BMP/jpg files in seq, open the first one and convert to m2v. I use ChapAnim and TSCV to generate a series of bmp files to make motion menus this way all the time.

Thanks, I'll give them a try.

I have a JPG that I made in Photoshop and I saved it as medium quality. I'm trying to make that JPG as a still menu M2V file. I converted it in TMPGEnc using the DVD (NTSC) template and the resulted M2V is all black. What's the problem?
