Hi, thanks for the guide
But streamer didn't work with my Ubuntu, it crashed every time.

camstream didn't work with my webcam, but I found streamer which worked great for taking frames at set intervals. On Ubuntu you can get it w/ a simple 'sudo apt-get install streamer'.

Thanks for the guide! Probably just a little tip, when doing the ls command, one additional line "files.txt" is added to the top of the file files.txt. I think you can avoid this by doing: "ls -1tr | grep -v files > files.txt" instead.

Thank you so much for sharing this technique. I have tread the same path as you looking for a solution to combining a list of images into a video and you saved the day for me.
