You can make a video of your pictures very easily using mencoder (two-pass
method):

mencoder mf://*.jpg -mf type=jpg:fps=25 -ovc lavc -ffourcc XVID -lavcopts 
vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vqscale=4:trell:mbd=2:vmax_b_frames=1:v4mv:subq=8:vb_strategy=0:vlelim=0:vcelim=0:cmp=2:subcmp=2:precmp=2:predia=1:dia=1:vme=4:vpass=1:psnr
 -of avi -o /dev/null
mencoder mf://*.jpg -mf type=jpg:fps=25 -ovc lavc -ffourcc XVID -lavcopts 
vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vqscale=4:trell:mbd=2:vmax_b_frames=1:v4mv:subq=8:vb_strategy=0:vlelim=0:vcelim=0:cmp=2:subcmp=2:precmp=2:predia=1:dia=1:vme=4:vpass=2:psnr
 -of avi -o output.avi

FPS is Frames per second. I'm overriding the fourcc to be XVID because the
default is not correctly recognized by all players (specially in Windows).

The jpegs should have a good quality, and the colorspace should be RGB

Easy way to convert your images using Imagemagick:

for i in `find . -name "*.pnm"` ; do convert $i -type truecolor -quality 100 
rgb/`basename $i .pnm`.jpg ; done

Let us know how it works out.

Greetings,

Alexis.
