I once had to create the same and decided to use mplayer/mencoder, as i
like to automate things if possible.


As a start:

#Create an uncompressed avi-file from all the PNG files in the current
directory (fps defines the time)
mencoder mf://*.png -mf w=800:h=600:fps=25:type=png -ovc raw -oac copy
-o output.avi


#Now add sound using:
mencoder output.avi -audiofile audio.wav -oac copy -ovc copy -o
output_waudio.avi


#and now encode it into a dvd/svcd compliant format using:

13.6.5.1. PAL DVD

  mencoder -oac lavc -ovc lavc -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd -vf
scale=720:576,\
  harddup -srate 48000 -af lavcresample=48000 -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video:\
  vrc_buf_size=1835:vrc_maxrate=9800:vbitrate=5000:keyint=15:acodec=ac3:\
  abitrate=192:aspect=16/9 -ofps 25 \
  -o movie.mpg movie.avi

13.6.5.5. PAL SVCD

  mencoder -oac lavc -ovc lavc -of mpeg -mpegopts format=xsvcd -vf \
  scale=480:576,harddup -srate 44100 -af lavcresample=44100 -lavcopts \
  vcodec=mpeg2video:mbd=2:keyint=15:vrc_buf_size=917:vrc_minrate=600:\
  vbitrate=2500:vrc_maxrate=2500:acodec=mp2:abitrate=224 -ofps 25 \
  -o movie.mpg movie.avi


You need to adjust the filenames as i just copied the stuff from the
mencoder manual, which you really should read, it's very  interesting
and tells a lot of stuff about various video-formats.
