# how to create an mp4 h264 from an mpeg file:
# ffmpeg -y -i movie.mpg -ar 44100 -ab 96k -vcodec libx264 -s 274x72  test02.mp4

Instructions:
0. Run brew install ffmpeg

1. Download the above file to a directory.
2. Create a directory within it, from Terminal: mkdir tmp, and put all the glitched images in there.
3. Type chmod a+x jpeg2mpg.sh and press enter.
4. Run ./jpeg2mpg.sh -s tmp -d . -n test.mpg -f 24 -v
5. The -s directive should point to a directory with the glitched images.
6. The -d . means that the test.mpg file will bestored in the current directory.
7. The -n directive says what the name of the resulting movie should be.
