Try QuickMovie 1.5. It's OS X Ready, and I believe does everything you're
asking. It's shareware and quite easy to use. I'm pretty sure it can do 1000
frames at a time, and it might be able to do all 2000 in one go. Otherwise, just
make two movies and paste them together.
QuickMovie is available (free 397K download) at:
http://www.chaoticsoftware.com/ProductPages/QuickMovie.html
I'd volunteer to do the conversion, but I don't have the hard drive space for
it. But downloading, learning, and running the program shouldn't take more than
10 minutes total. Then it's just unattended processing time.
Hope that helps!
