How about:

you have input0.png (or jpeg or something else normal not tiff).
for i in `seq 1 1 299`; do ln -s input0.png input$i.png; done
ffmpeg -r 30 -i input%d.png output.mpg

Should give you 300 frame mpeg1 at 30fps which is 10 seconds.

convert can convert whatever into png or such.  png is lossless which is
probably a good idea for intermediate file format.  Also make sure the
resolution of the input image is valid for the playback device.  640x480
or 640x240 or 480x240 or whatever it wants.
