Windows: PhotoLapse is a tiny and portable application for stitching together images into a time-lapse video. Point it at a folder full of pictures, and you're mostly done.

All your time-lapse options are displayed in a single pane when you launch the 158k application. Select your directory of videos, load the images from that directory, and then tweak a few small settings like whether or not you want every image to be included or every Nth image.
