Just a pointer: For Linux its easy to use gLabels. Create a text file with a list of the frame file names, and import it as a merge. then add an image to the business card, and for the file name select the key number, if you have just a single list it will be "1" - go to print and you'll get a business card for each image.

There's a great website that lets you simply upload a video, choose a flipbook size and customize a cover. They print and bind your book for you, no muss no fuss. It's called FlipClips.com.

I just tried Noah's program this week to make flipbooks with a group of 5th-8th graders and they had a blast. It's wonderfully simple and efficient.
