    There's an image in the VS2010 stock icon pack which is only included as a PNG, which I would like to use as an ICO (I want XP and earlier users to see the icon). How can I convert the PNG into the ICO?

    For one-off tasks I usually just cheat: ConvertICO.com .

    If you will be doing this fairly often, you may want to consider the free Photoshop plugin.

    There's also the Paint.NET ICO plugin.

    I tried to do this with ffmpeg but failed (I also failed making animated GIFs). Is there a simple to use free program (command line is okay) to convert videos to animated PNGs?

    As long as it doesn't dump the video frame by frame into PNG files and create a monster size PNG then I should like it. (I didnt see an option to make ffmpeg not dump every frame)

    Dunno if this'll work, but try: Format Factory (formatoz.org) It's a good free all-around converter for Windows.
