I recommend to use mencoder (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/encoding.html)
which comes with MPlayer (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/). It can
convert almost everything to everything, including a set of PNGs to
MPEG4 (aka divx/avi).

BTW, an animated gif is very bad, because it uses only 256 colours and 
the compression in GIFs is patented.
