How to convert a series of photos into a video

Actually rather simple:

• Rename the pictures to have consecutive filenames. I used muCommander, sorted by date, and used the batch rename tool.
  
• Turn them in the right position, scale them and place them on a black background:
  

  mogrify -background black -auto-orient -resize "960x720>" -extent "960x720" -gravity center -format PNG *.jpg
  

• Convert the pictures into a video:
  
  

  mencoder "mf://*.PNG" -mf fps=9.2 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mjpeg:vhq:vqscale=2 -oac copy -audiofile Breakeven.mp3 -o movie.avi
  

• Profit!
  

The final result:
