How can I create MAT file?

I'm doing with object in video tracking, I have a set of 5,000 jpg images, so I'd like to create a file to store those images as I can load all images from a MAT file into MATLAB. Can anyone please guide me how to do that?

Storing pictures in JPEG files is a good idea already. In MAT files they will occupy much more memory such that I guess that the reading will be slower. Anyhow, it works: Create a loop, use IMREAD to import one file, store it in a cell and save this cell at the end in a MAT file using SAVE.
