A common question I'm afraid.

What free software would you recommend to build a series of BMPs into  an 
Mpeg?

I use http://www.tmpgenc.net/ If you output to PNG instead, use the PNG VFAPI plugin. 
Same quality, less 
space than BMP.

The other common tool used here is http://www.virtualdub.org/

  Is that the same AviCreator which I once tried and which, for some
completely inexplicable reason, tried to load *every single image* to
memory before giving the option to save them to an avi (meaning that if
you had even a fair amount of frames you would quickly run out of memory),
and which didn't even have support for codecs?

Hi Warp,

Well, I don't if it's the same... If the name is AviCreator should be the 
same.

It's gives an .AVI archive and you've to render all the images using POV-Ray 
to creat the .AVI
Using 30 frames it works OK. I've never used it for more images.

Regards,
Oleguer

It is the same, I use Avicreator, only because I haven't found anything
else, its intricacies haven't forced me to find anything else, I can
compile 600 384 x 288 bitmaps with it on my 1700+ Athlon so I haven't had
much troubles, except that you choose the last image in the sequence first
then shift click the first image when opening into Avicreator and it works
ok

I didn't ask the question but I'll thank you anyway.

I just came across the need for a PNG -> Video utility and VDub works quite
well. Thanks!
