Efficient method to make a movie from a set of images

Hi!

Could somebody tell me what is the efficient way to make a movie from
a set of images in Matlab?

Thanks,

Raj

Raj,

Here is a short movie creation demo. It requires
mpgwrite.dll which is available in the file exchange. Just
drop mgpwrite.dll into the directory where you are creating
movies:

% create some image data
[X Y Z] = sphere(25);
sz = size(Z);
C = rand(sz(1),sz(2),3);

% stitch data to wrap color around sphere
C(:,end,:) = C(:,1,:);

% render an image
figure('color',[0 0 0]);
sp = surf(X,Y,Z,C,'FaceColor','interp',...
    'FaceLighting','phong');
material shiny
axis off vis3d
cl = camlight('right');
camzoom(1.5)
set(sp,'edgecolor','none');
drawnow

% setup the rotation vector for the movie
view_vect_yaw = [-180:3:180];
sz_vect = size(view_vect_yaw);

% "lights, camera, action!"
for f = 1:sz_vect(2)
    % set the view, reset light position and render
    view([view_vect_yaw(f) 15]);
    camlight(cl,'right')
    drawnow
    % grab a frame
    m(f) = getframe(gcf);
end
% format frames as mpeg and write to file
mpgwrite(m,C,'my_movie.mpg',...
    [1, 0, 1, 0, 10, 1, 1, 1]);
% end of code

Thanks for your replies. I need to make each figure(frame) in the
movie with discrete data and I need the points with different colors.
For example:

hold on;
        [m, n] = find(manipu == 0);
            plot(m,n,'.w');
       [m,n] = find(manipu == 45);
                plot(m,n,'.y');

However, the problem with this is that the second plot command is over-
writing the previous color. Is there anyway to make this work?

Thanks,
Raj
