Jeff,
IDL 6.3 has Motion JPEG2000 support. When the parameters are set
correctly, the movies have superb quality while the file sizes are
significantly smaller than animated gifs or pngs. A free player is
included in IDL, but you may have trouble getting the movies to run
under Quicktime.

Cheers,
Haje
