Looking for time lapse software recomendations

Hello all.

I was interested in trying to do some time lapse photography, probably
something like the sun rising or setting.

Does anyone know of good software to make the individual JPG's (or
even RAW) into an MPG, AVI, or MOV?

I currently use Windows XP and already have a DSLR to do the time
lapse photography part. I just need good software to put it all
together.

Thanks

Windows Movie Maker, bundled with SP2.

Two years ago I used VirtualDub, it lets you choose from a variety of
codecs, easy to use, but opened only bmp or tga. So some scripting in
PS has to be done and I also had to write an app to rename the files
after they went from 9999 to 0000 again.
I made a few nice cloud movies and then decided it's not worth
destroying the shutter/mirror (canon 20d with a remote timer switch)
after just a few days of shooting.

I'd recommend Adobe Premiere Elements. It might be a bit of overkill for
what you want, but it's not too expensive (especially in light of what
it's capable of). I used it and my 20D to create this flower animation:
