I create individual frames in MidasPlus running on SGI (use a simple 
script to render picture and rotate repetitively), stitch the 
individual frames into a QuickTime movie using MediaConvert on SGI 
(various options available for compression and file formats) and then 
ftp to my Mac.

Examples of such QuickTime movies at:
