mencoder which is a part of mplayer works. It's a little complex, but there
are some examples.

http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/menc-feat-enc-images.html

with some success, i was using:
mencoder mf://*.png -mf w=400:h=300:fps=25:type=png -ovc copy  -o output.avi

but i'm not sure what players that would work on. works with mplayer anyway
:)


here's another helpfull site:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Mencoder_Introduction_Guide

but i had problems with mencoder giving a segmentation fault with anything
other than "-ovc copy". for instance, "-ovc lavc" plus lavc options caused
seg faults.


good luck!
