I'm actually converting 20k images (> 20 G) of glob2 from bmp to png with url 
overlay using mogrify. Once done, I'll make a .ogg to put on wikimedia 
commons and a .mpeg to put on tyoutube. Hopefully it wil bring people...

At current speed, just the conversion will take some more hours.. have a nice 
day,

P.S.    I don't think we should waste time adding text overlay support to glob2 
for videoshots, we should concentrate on fixing bugs instead. Adding overlay 
can be easily done with mogrify like this :
mogrify -format png -pointsize 35 -fill white -draw 'text 40,450 
\"http://www.globulation2.org\";' $file

I've attached my trivial perl script to this mail.
