I would just take the easy way out and convert them all to .tga with irfanview or some other such batch converter

png runs circles around jpg and kicks it's arse. Then it calls it silly names. And steal it's lunchmoney.
More seriously. png got alpha and lossless compression.
And it is an open format.
that i like

i would use png but irrlicht doesn't support it(yet). and for the record, deps, it not only has alpha, it has 8-bit alpha. meaning it can have varying levels of transparency(unlike gif, in which you just define a color as transparent and everything else is opaque).

go with tga. supports 8bit alpha and, in contrast to png, works with irrlicht.

yeah, tga is the second best to png in regards to quality.
