Hi,<BR>
<BR>
we have just done this using MapServer WCS / GDAL on the server side, and IDL on the client side (though you could use Java / Python) any temporal OGC client.<BR>
<BR>
The fact that you have got 16 bit data precludes using normal AVI software, also you will want to do frame interpolation for a smooth effect.<BR>
<BR>
We used the temporal dimension of OGC WCS (implemented in MapServer) to serve the tifs, and then created an OGC temporal WCS client, I believe there are quite a few around in addition to ours.<BR>
<BR>
Full details of serving temporal data is here anyway<BR>

<BR>
and a list of OGC WCS clients that were developed for GALEON (some commercial some not, most supporting temporal animation) is here<BR>

Hope this helps,<BR>
