Keith:  Thanks.  I'm computer-challenged.  I didn't make the connection 
that xvidcore was a codec, and only installed libraries.  I was 
attempting to create a movie from images, and used mencoder to create a 
.avi movie with an soundtrack .ogg file.
$ mencoder mf://*.png -mf w=320:h=240:fps=1:type=png -ovc copy 
-audiofile Open_Studios_theme.ogg -oac copy -o done1.avi
then
I used mencoder to convert that to a .mpg file that could be loaded into 
Cinelerra for editing:
mencoder done1.avi -o VCD.mpg -ofps 25 -vf scale=352:288,harddup -of 
lavf -lavfopts 
format=mpg:i_certify_that_my_video_stream_does_not_use_b_frames -oac 
lavc -lavcopts acodec=mp2:abitrate=224 -ovc lavc -lavcopts 
vcodec=mpeg1video:vrc_buf_size=327:keyint=15:vrc_maxrate=1152:vbitrate=1152:vmax_b_frames=0
then
I wanted to use m4creator to create a QuickTime compatible movie, but 
got into trouble trying to download and install Mpeg4IP.

this is the link for mplayer site documentation and examples.

After reading and rereading the mpeg4ip install page, I've come to the 
conclusion doing this only makes sense if it's the first thing you do 
after you do a fresh operating system install. 

Has anyone come across a neat way to start with a bunch of images and a 
soundtrack, and create movies for the Internet?  I've decided to settle 
for being able to get this far, and will leave the QuickTime conversion 
for another day.  :)
