It's worth trying ... I guess. It has the obvious disadvantage of saving hundreds or even thousands of files which some other program

QuickTime can do it -
'Open Image Sequence ...' in the 'File' menu of Quicktime Player [but
you probably have to fork out the rude 'extra' $$$ for Quicktime Pro
before that menu item works, most of the useful functions in
QuickTime are the same]
It is only the convenience of a menu items in the player that you are
paying for, QuickTime is still the same even if you don't pay the
ransom ... eg you can make a little applescript to do most things,
'open image sequence <filename> frames per second 25' is the command
for opening an image sequence, <filename> is the first file of a
numbered series.
