[plug] converting TIFF sequences to video

Heh.... most likely I'd render directly from TIFF to AVI, depending on 
the capabilities of the app.

Mplayer actually looks like a good option (weird, eh?) - well, MEncoder. 
I can't figure out how to make the darn thing take a sequence of files 
though ... I've tried -mf \*png (I'm testing using a dir full of PNGs 
dumped from a DVD) and it picks them up but just renders gibberish in 
the video window.

MEncoder interests me mainly due to its format capabilities: RGB24 
uncompressed AVI :-) so I don't have to murder the master with MPEG.

Its an interesting challenge.
