Creating a movie

hi!

ineed help on the following problem:

I created a slide-show on GUI by using these codes under axes:

useVideoWriter = ~verLessThan('matlab','7.11'); 
if useVideoWriter 
    vid = VideoWriter('vid.avi'); 
    vidObj.Quality = 100; 
    vid.FrameRate = 80; 
    open(vid); 
else 
    vid = avifile('vid.avi', 'fps',80, 'quality',100); 
end 
% Hint: place code in OpeningFcn to populate axes1
for k = 1:10
    axes(hObject)
    imshow('1.jpg')
    pause(0.2)
    imshow('2.jpg')
    pause(0.2)
    imshow('3.jpg')
    pause(0.2)
    imshow('4.jpg')
    pause(0.2)
    imshow('5.jpg')
    pause(0.2)
    imshow('6.jpg')

        %# capture frame 
      if useVideoWriter 
          writeVideo(vid,getframe); 
      else 
          vid = addframe(vid, getframe(gcf)); 
      end  
  end

%# close and save video output 
if useVideoWriter 
    close(vid); 
else 
    vid = close(vid); 
end

%%When I run it, it shows all the pictures and also make a movie but it does not playback the video length is 00.00.00 what could be the problem and how can I solve

Thanks

Could you also mention the OS you are using and how you are trying to playback the video? I suppose the problem is that of the video codec, for I run ubuntu 10.04 and without ffmpeg, I cannot view the videos I generate this way. Also, on windows, the videos usually play on Windows media player, but don't on VLC player and so on..
