Video API

I want to produce a movie in the AVI or MOV or MPG format from a series of images (basically XImages or GLImages) which my program constructs. Currently, I simply send the images to an X or GL window one after another to produce an animated effect, but I would really like to save the animation in a industry-compatible format so that it can be viewed on a platform independent of the creation platform.

I'm not interested in sound, just the visuals. Ideally, I would like a fairly simple API which opened a movie file, specified a frame rate, accepted a series of images and then closed the file. I have programmed a similar setup in MS Windows some years ago and would like to do the same under Unix with C or C++.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a suitable API to do this ?

Thanks
