If you did not build with FFMPEG, but if you have it installed, try the command
ffmpeg -qscale 3 -r 30 -b 40000 -i filename.%04d.png movie-output.avi For mencoder, a similar command exists. Otherwise, you can try using 'avidemux', a graphical user interface where you can open the first of the images, it will use all images to make a movie. Finally, png's are usually much nicer for this type of graphics, since they don't display artefacts.
