I have used the Berkeley MPEG-1 Video Encoder:

http://bmrc.berkeley.edu/frame/research/mpeg/index.html

I used it to create a few small time-lapse movies.  One was my LEGO model of
the
Kennedy Space Center crawler/transporter (the movie is near the end of the
Overview
section):

And another was a typical day on my LEGO webcam:

The program is very configurable (but that also implies a steep learning
curve).

As to adding audio to your movie, I have used free tools from
www.vcdhelp.com to
multiplex/demultiplex audio and video.

I'm trying to put together animations from a series of image files.  Up to
now I've used gif animation programs.  But I'm thinking I can get much
better compression if I go to MPeg format.  What free/inexpensive programs
are out there that do this well?

In the long run, I'd be interested in sound capability, but for now I'd be
happy with just being able to stitch a bunch of images into an animation.
