Animation shop (comes with Paint shop pro) does PNG (and "every" other
largely used format) to avi (divx/xvid etc)
It's not good (fast) at handling animations with a lot of frames though.
( I think my 450mhz kneeled at 500-1000 frames IIRC)
You can get a trial version at www.jasc.com

Yes, mine does too.  You need to fetch the addin.

Odd.. That is the one I just downloaded. It doesn't list PNG as a valid 
file type in the input box. It also generates and error when it tries to 
read one you enter manually. Unless you are using the Pro version or 
something and it has extra support of formats or there is some sort of 
plugin for it....

In any case, it seems the person that answered me on the forum for 
TMPGEnc misinterpreted what I said initially. For some reason any 
'serious' attempt by me to explain things and make suggestions causes 
this to happen. lol Turns out you can use something called AviSynth to do 
this, or AviSynth combined with one called VirtualDubMod.

VirtualDubMod appears to let you edit and tweak the 'stream' before 
encoding. This includes changing the frame rate, etc. Something that 
kind of bugs me about TMPGEnc anyway, since I would love to be able to 
tell it 'this video should be more or less 2 minutes long' and have it 
set the correct frame rate to make it that long.

AviSynth though appears to work like a codec, only it runs a script that 
will process each frame as needed, I.e. converting from PNG to something 
TMPGEnc or players understand for each frame. The nice thing about this 
is you could probably write an include that could automatically generate 
the script needed to either play back the existing images through a media 
player, without encoding them to MPEG, or to feed them to TMPGEnc in 
order to perform the encoding.

The links are:

http://www.avisynth.org/

http://virtualdubmod.sourceforge.net/?page=faq

I still think my Rube Goldberg Syndrome is all too real when dealing with 
POV-Ray though. ;) lol

Do you think Mr. Harris is aware of how much we love his gift?

Try RadTools (Bink and Smacker)...  It can do bunch conversion (audio, video
at different compression rate) and has AVI and MPEG output (as well as all
pic format)...  I downloaded it one year ago and it was totally free at
this time... A great tool for doing animation and game...  Anyway, check
their website at http://www.radgametools.com/bnkadvan.htm

Thanks, maybe a search on that will turn it up. lol The several attempts 
I made failed to turn anything useful up.

Hmm.. As I just posted on the TMPGEnc forums, it is nice to fall out of 
the sky and hit a mattress factory, but slightly less useful to do so 
several days before they got around to actually building it. lol

Thanks for the link, I figured someone had to have worked out how to do 
this someplace, figures though that it would end up being the last thing 
to break my fall into frustration, instead of the first thing someone 
suggested. ;) lol

I'm encoding PNG -> MPEG and DivX using mencoder (from linux MPLayer). 
If you want to use the -ovc lavc, it requires a little self-written 
patch, however.
