If you must convert it to an avi file Petteri Hietavirta's answer might really help. But if you just want to show the video with those images in your app, you might as well use a timer with a very small interval and animate all the images. It looks as smooth as a video.

P.S. - UIImageView provides inbuilt animation but it requires creating an array of all the images, which is not recommended for a large number of images, as it eats up lot of memory.

Take a look at the ported ffmpeg-version you can use on the iPhone, they provide exactly what you need :)!
