I do not need any external library (except the xiph libraries). The sliding is handmade ;-). I use a linear interpolation to calculated inter-pixel data in RGB and expect a picture that is bigger then the resulting frame size. The start and endpoints are randomly chosen, but can be set explicitly in the end.
Actually I only can supply an importer for bmp files, as this is a quite easy format (Any help to create importers for other formats would be great).

On my system (Mac/ newest firefox 3.1 release) it works fine. However the bitrate is very high, maybe that's the problem.
