Is this a quick/simple way to convert a bunch of JPG stills into some sort of video file so it can be played back in VLC? If the convertion can be done using VLC, that would be preferred.

You can use a "stopmotion" maker: here's an overview of them, and one to download: CellSoft Take5 1.30
Even you can also use Picasa 3 which has a feature that does exactly this - basically, it saves the slideshow into a saved video file - works nicely.

just Open the VLC Player > Media>Convert/save or press ctrl+R >add your images > drop down option to play . Done ! :)

If you want to then clip the resulting video (it seems to make 9second clips by default) then you might want to specify a different video codec other than H264/5/6. I changed to use MPEG-4 at 30fps and only then could I then clip the video shorter. – user765827 – 2018-02-12T16:49:05.830

I use mencoder to assemble a series of jpeg frames into an avi, which can then be easily played back in VLC
mencoder mf://*.jpg -mf fps=24 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:mbd=1:vbitrate=12800:autoaspect=1 -o video.avi
you may want to play with the lavcopts but that should get you going...
ps. I tried to do this with VLC itself but just couldn't figure it out

There is no need to convert JPG images to video for playback in VLC, as VLC includes JPG playback. Just add them to the playlist and they'll be shown for 10 seconds.
The JPG playback time is globally adjustable in the settings, or individually by playing around with e.g. an XSPF playlist and the <vlc:option>image-duration=6</vlc:option> option.
