HandBrake cannot convert PNG sequences directly, but if you can find software that can create a QuickTime MOV from a PNG sequence, it can definitely re-encode that.

1. Can be done in most video editors -- Vegas, Premiere, FCP.
2. Can be done in ffmpeg with something like:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i img-%02d.png video_name.mov

Untested!
In this example, ffmpeg will look for images with file names with ‘img-‘ followed by a two-digit number and a .png file extension, and convert these images into a mov video file named ‘video_name.MOV".
I think an .avi output would also work in Windows, but again, untested.
Caution! Wrapped files will be quite large. No audio included but it can be.

Your ffmpeg command should specify a frame rate somewhere. Don't remember the exact syntax.

Yes, it should, unless one wants the default of 25 fps.
Here's the code examples:
