I have lots of PNG images:

They are all of size 1280×720. I want to turn them into an animation and upload it to YouTube as a HD video. I've heard that H264 is a good format and the MPEG would result in poor quality. But I'm not good at animation formats. 🙂
So. Is there a free command line application I can use to turn these into a H264 animation and what would the command line look like?
Edit: Please see CarlF's comment below. Apparently I'm confused on the formats. 🙂

And please don't forget that YouTube is in the habit of re-encoding its videos even if they're in the right format, so regardless you may just lose quality anyway. Thankfully it's not too much for live-action videos, but videos like 2D animations (anime, cartoons and the like) do suffer.
