Well I tried it on a directory of jpegs saved from a scanner program and 
it did perform much better, at least accounting for blanks caused by 
differences in picture size from frame to frame.

So it would seem you guess might be correct. I would think that mplayer 
would wanty to be able to handle most jpegs. Could I send someone a 
sample of a few jpegs to see what they can find about these things?

Converting a 1000 jpegs to png is not what I wanted to do. I was hoping 
for something that could automatically convert these webcam pictures to 
a movie on the fly daily or hourly without a lot of pre-processing.
