I am satisfied with avconv, the current ffmpeg replacement in the
standard Ubuntu distribution. This command line generates an H.264
compressed movie in a Quicktime mov container at 20fps and an average
bitrate of 9600kb/s from a series of tif files with zero padded numbers
of four digits length as you can save it with ImageJ:
avconv -r 20 -i %04d.tif -f mov -vcodec libx264 -b 9600k movie.mov
Best,
Stephan
