How can I make a movie or animation?

[Pierre Abbat <phma@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a POV-ray model which can produce animation (it's a house with the sun 
moving across the sky). POV-ray is not in the current quarterly, but I 
managed to make it work after upgrading by resurrecting a library file from a 
snapshot. POV produces a bunch of still pictures in PNG format. When I did 
this many years ago, I used gifsicle, but I'd like to produce something more 
advanced than an animated GIF. So I installed mencoder (after allowing some 
licences) and looked at the documentation. There's an explanation on how to 
rip DVDs, but nothing that I could see about making a movie from scratch. Is 
this the right tool, or should I try something else?
