I would suggest another image format. How about generating a movie
file, such as mpeg? You'll save a *huge* amount of space. Plus, if you
encode correctly, you'll be able to seek backwards and forwards in
your file.

mencoder, for example, will make a movie from a set of still frames like this:

   mencoder "mf://*.png" -mf fps=25 -o output.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts
vcodec=mpeg4
