You can output Qucktime directly with the saveasmovie plugin (part of Fiji now I think).  We either do that or save as Image Sequence, import into quicktime pro (pretty inexpensive and adds lots of features to Qucktime player 7- don’t use the later player versions as they don’t work) and then export a movie.  The advantage of the quicktime pro route is the added codecs that give higher quality compression  (H264) than what saveasmovie has access to.  Dave
