Really!! I looked through all the docs for convert last night but
didn't see that one, or think to try it for that matter.

A follow-up, installed pkgsrc/x11/xvidcap-gtk2 without any problems,
managed to get an .mpeg file or a series of files but couldn't find a
way to convert all of them to a single animated gif using ImageMagick.
Tonight I'll try Chavdar's method.

Thanks to all.
