Thanks, Radu.

We recently needed to convert some bags to AVI for one of the
students. I believe we ended up doing a fast-and-dirty screen capture
of some sort. Using bags_to_images and mencoder should work much
better.

If we get the chance, maybe we'll write some generally usable scripts
for this. If someone else does it first, please let us know. :-)
