AVIsynth will let you do both of those, but beware it's a kind of scripting 
language just like POV.

For 1) you would write something like:

video = ImageSource("frame%04d.png", start=0, end=1500, fps=25,pixel_type = 
"rgb24")
return video

and for 2) you can write: (to eg save 1st 100 frames to drive C)

video = DirectShowSource("existing video clip.mp4")
ImageWriter( video , "C:\" , 0 , 100 , type="jpg" )
