WRF output animated output either gif or mpg using NCL

Hey NCL-Talk:
 From what I read below from a previous post and the FAQ..

These are the two good options for producing animated, also Quicktime
Pro I suppose..

ImageMagick is somewhat of a pain to install with required dependencies.

Anything else?
thanks, Dierk
