I use PSP or IrfanView to batch convert images, MS VidEdit for Avi encoding and
CMpeg for Mpeg encoding.  The only commercial program I have for animations is
VideoWave II, but it's very slow in putting the images together.  So those 4
programs are really all I ever need and I only paid about 50$ for Paint Shop
Pro.  It can be limiting and not great output, I just don't need anything
better, for now anyway.
PSP is at www.jasc.com
IrfanView is at http://stud1.tuwien.ac.at/~e9227474/
MS VidEdit is at
http://www.sumrallworks.com/freebies/buttonhole/multimedia/avi/editor.htm
CMpeg is at ftp://ftp.crs4.it/mpeg/programs/cmpeg10.zip
The cmpeg Windows GUI front-end by Alexander Stols (Sander) is at
http://stols.net/
and there's also a tga to agif at http://members.xoom.com/amcfarlane/

You'd be well to get IrfanView and Cmpeg (and it's frontend) at the very least,
and VidEdit to put together Avi.

| I've looked around on the various links pages and d/l'd

| tools for images or animation tools that just make an
| AVI or MPG out of common file types.
|
| I've rendered two animations, both taking 5 days (at the
| same time), but now can't really do anything with the frames
| because I can't find the tools.
|
| I've d/l'd Mkavi, won't compile and I'm not knowledgeable
| enough to get it to work.
|
|
| Any help with links to tools that work would be gratefully
| received.
|
| PS: Spider's d/l'd all the tools and deleted them so that
| no one else can play :-)
