Two possibilities:

1) Make sure your memory allocation for IDL is set as large as possible.
It is still an OS 9 app. (Find the IDL app. Do Get Info. Set Preferred
and Max memory to say, 1 GB.)

2) Use GraphicConverter (excellent sharewhare, OS X compatible) to
convert the TIFFs to a QuickTime movie. View with Quicktime.
