Well... that works even less well than what I'm using already. (I.e., 
now even MPlayer can't play the file properly!)

I don't have that. [Note that we're talking about M$ Windoze here.]

Yeah, like I'm going to be able to figure out how to do that...

mencoder mf://*.png -ovc raw -ofps 12 -vf scale=720:576 -of avi -o out.avi

What what's supposed to do is take all the *.png files in the current 
directory and build an uncompressed AVI file at 12 frames/second and 
resize the frames to 720x576 if nececcsary.

It *does* produce a file. And MPlayer will play it quite happily, and 
the contents look correct. However, Windoze Media Player won't play it, 
and Virtual Dub complains too. (Something about "no decompressor for ' 
RGB'" - note the space in there.)
