In my research, I often generate a sequence of images from either my experiment or from a simulation that I want to put together into a movie. Since I use linux, I wanted to do this using free software in linux, and I wanted to be able to play the movie in linux. This webpage outlines what I've learned about how to do this in linux using mencoder or ffmpeg to create high quality files that are well compressed and the play well under all operating systems.

Mandelbulber is an easy to use, handy but experimental application designed to help you render 3D Mandelbrot fractals such as the Mandelbulb and some other kind of 3D fractals like the Mandelbox, BulbBox, JuliaBulb, Menger Sponge, and Iterated Function Systems (IFS).
