Blender got a full video and audio sequence editor builtin, based on FFmpeg.  It
was used for Blender own movies, for instance.

Blender 2.5 is still a work in progress, so I suggest the sequencer from the
latest stable 2.49 release.

I don't doubt there are some on Linux, just annoyed you can't find 
either anything useful under Windows, or ports of something from the 
other side of the computer world. :p

Hmm. If Blender uses FFmpeg, then it must be someone else I was thinking 
of. There was one used in the past, to zip png into video, which another 
application barfed on, when installed. It had a similar name, but not 
sure what it was.

I have, in times past, had some success with Bink and Smacker, but I had to use
a separate tool to set the frame rate as Bink only seems to support 24fps.

Currently, my best friend for animation is Mencoder, which is a cross-platform
command-line utility for encoding video, either from a sequence of images or
from one format to another.

Of course, I find the command line in linux to be a great deal more user
friendly than the one in windows, but I like almost everything better than
windows.

Happy hunting,
A.D.B.

My bad, it seems that mencoder is not cross-platform.

VirtualDub will make movies out of a series of images.
http://www.virtualdub.org/.

Windows movie maker (at least version 2.1 for windows XP) will export to 
avi if you choose the DV-AVI export format. Movie maker 2.1 can be 
installed on Vista and Windows 7.

If that does not work I would recommend you get something like Pinnacle 
studio or Adobe premiere elements. Although not free it may save you 
time and frustration. Recently I tried to used several free applications 
and unfortunately none of them would work reliably and ended up wasting 
several weeks of work.  Both of these have demos for you to try out 
before buying.

good luck,

FlyerX

Just testing different codecs with virtual dub

Cinepak : little quality problems at a window, it's flickering
Intel IYUV : big file but best result so far
Microsoft Video 1 : unuseable

BTW, my current project has a complete
other dimension.

I have to present a 5 minutes documentation
about my achievements during a prize ceremony.

About 3 of the 5 minutes will be self created
contend rendered by POV.

It's for an international TV broadcast
