A good freeware option for converting a sequence of images to an AVI file is VirtualDub.

Then set FPS and apply any filters/compression etc you want before exporting to avi...

I've used Irfanview for several different types of batch conversion for images. I'm not sure if it will do what you want it to, but it's very useful.

FFmpeg for video conversion and ImageMagick for images are excellent open source free tools for just about any conversion you'd like.
Both are command line tools which makes them very fast, usable and scriptable but there are various GUI frontends for them if you prefer that.
