Dear John,
You might be able to convert the stack using the virtual stack opener
routines and save out single image TIFFs. Then you can use some
plugins I wrote to make a QuickTime movie:
http://worms.zoology.wisc.edu/research/4d/4d.htmlAlternatively, if you know the header/offset structure of the image
stack, you could read into the stack on your hard drive and open
single images by racking through the stack. I've always wanted to
write something to do this. Perhaps Wayne has a little sample code to
make life easier?
Good luck!
Cheers,
Jeff
