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!

Hmm - I had better luck with .JPEG's:
mencoder \*.jpg -mf on:fps=35 -o output.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts
vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:v4mv #polar_divx_35_fps_libav.avi
and to add sound (if you have transcode):
transcode -i output.avi -p song.mp3 -P1 -o output_s.avi -y raw
Didn't crash and worked fine.

Screw it. It's hopelessly confusing as to how to acquire the app- I have
to compile a bunch of stuff, and it has an inefficient interface-- lots of
typing. So 1990ish. I'll try TMPGENc and WINE

You're confusing an "inefficient interface" with a different way of doing
things. I type about 90 WPM on average, so I find the interface *highly*
efficient, even if I have to --help to get the options I need. I
personally find *anything* that requires the mouse to be extremely
*inefficient* because I have to take my hands off the keyboard, and that
just slows me down. (IOW, insert arguement #327 here for CLI vs. GUI -
it's all been said before)
Taking the time to learn *is worth it*.
Depending on which Linux distro you're using, there are precompiled
binaries available. I don't recall which distro you're using, but I know
with SuSE, I go to http://packman.links2linux.org. For RedHat, I've used
rpmfind.net a lot to find precompiled packages.
Running something under WINE is likely going to take something of a
performance hit (though that's not always the case, I've run Windows games
under Linux with WINE and actually seen performance *improvements* on the
exact same hardware).

what distribution of linux are you using? like Jim said, lots of precompiled
packages out there. I recently switch to Ubuntu for kicks, a debian based
distribution, and it has packages available. mencoder is a little cryptic at
first and second looks. on my third look at it, I started to understand (not
a surprise because i didn't even try reading the man page for it the first
two attempts).

okay sorry guys.
I'm using kanotix.
I can type reeeallly fast too, but when I'm in a creative stretch, I also do
a whooooole lot of povving. I end up with hundreds of similarly-sounding
files with long, cryptic file names. Often I only know the filename by
process of elimination among the 10 most recent files. This
type-things-out just is not an efficient workflow for me. I apologize if I
took my frustrations out on a forum of people attempting to help me.

*cringes at the thought of your directories*
you might want to check freshmeat.net or sourceforge.net to see if there are
any GUI front-ends to mencoder.

Ross' suggestion is a great one - http://www.freshmeat.net is a great
resource. I also usually search sourceforge (http://www.sf.net), though I
find its search is a bit more difficult to use.

Aside from the GUI issue, I also have to compile what I d/l'ed, correct?
Was stumped there too.
