I use OpenDX to write a MIFF file, then use IM convert to create the tiffs
using the command 

convert frames.miff frame%03d.tif

The %03d bit appends the frame number with three columns, right justified.
Look for  more instructions on the IM web page.

I use either SGI's mediaconvert or Adobe Premier to make the movies. I thnk
its better to work with uncompressed "frames" when making movies and let the
movie making software do the compression.

I have also been trying ImageJ - free Java program (i.e. any platform) that
can write Quicktime and AVI's. You can find it on google
