[MPlayer-users] slowing down a video clip

[Andrew Collier (colliera@nu.ac.za)]

hello,

i have a video clip (in a .mpg file) of some phenomena occuring on the surface of the sun in which the action happens VERY quickly. i would like to slow it down so that i can use it during a presentation and still have time to point out the various interesting things that occur in it.

i have tried to do this with the 'convert' code in the imagemagick package and it works for some files but inexplicably fails for others. i am sure that i should be able to do this with mencoder but am not sure how. could anyone give me some pointers?

thanks!

best regards,
andrew collier.
