Answer 1

First, you need a codec library for VP8:

Using libvpx API you can then encode your RGB frames into VP8 frames.

ya but how exactly, where is the simplest possible example, found in examples/simple_encoder.c but its too complicated, how do I encode say 3 frames – Farica

Answer 2

The easiest way to go is to use ffmpeg.

The latest release of ffmpeg (0.6) now supports the VP8 codec, and building it is now easy.

Then, ffmpeg makes it simple to gather individual frames into a movive. Here is a tutorial, but you can google for more results.
