Any suggestions on how to encode this with Java from a set of BufferedImages will be appreciated.
Xuggler can help you with the encoding side of things, see this page. As for what format you want to use, that's up to you - it depends on the context and situation. FLV is probably the most widely supported, if that's an important consideration.
