Mandelbulber, sorry. The names are easy to get confused. tongue stuck out

 You can render PNG 16bit files with Mandelbulber. Both alpha channel and non alpha versions, as you wish.

 Of course it's better to use that format instead of JPG. As they told you before, PNG is a lossless codec and the best way to preserve as much detail as you have. But that's not the only advantage because mandelbulber outputs 16bit per channel (http://www.theartofretouching.com/blog/photoshop-cs5-5-tutorial-difference-between-8bit-16bit-color-space ) PNG files and you've the option to get alpha channel (transparency). JPG is a lossy codec, only 8bit depth and without alpha channel.

 The PNG(JPG) -> mp4(whatever) conversion could be easily made with ffmpeg: http://ffmpeg.org/faq.html#How-do-I-encode-single-pictures-into-movies_003f

 It's easy to extrapolate the parameters to use on this particular case. For example, to encode a PNG sequence into a MKV using the same PNG codec (lossless, playable with VLC)

 
Code:
ffmpeg -f image2 -i 'image%d.png' -vcodec copy out.mkv

This is the best option IMO. ffmpeg is fast, free and it can convert any number of images into any video format you want with whatever resolution, frame-rate, and bitrate you want. It will handle both PNG and JPEG no problem, and if you have images ffmpeg can't handle, you can use ImageMagick to convert them to something ffmpeg can handle. If you are using Ubuntu, ffmpeg can be installed with
Code:
sudo apt install ffmpeg
and ImageMagic is already installed by default. If you Google these programs and visit their websites, they have very good tutorials and documentation. If you've never used a command-line interface, it's a good opportunity to learn.
