Microsoft includes a DV codec in all current builds (was it included with
DirectX 8), so an AVI file encoded for DV makes sense. I don't know how you
could call the codec from the command line, which might need to be done in
two passes: create an uncompressed AVI from your image sequence, then run
the codec on it.

Let me know if you come up with a solution.
