Hi Ryan,

There's a program named PAVE that reads netCDF data and outputs MPEG
files, but I don't know much about what, if any, restrictions there
are on the input data:

  http://envpro.ncsc.org/EDSS/pave_doc/paveHistory.html

Another package, Plot Plus, reads netCDF data and creates MPEG files
of animations:

There may be others, but I don't know about them ...

It may also be fairly easy to generate a sequence of image files with
some of the netCDF visualization packages and use a separate utility
to convert the image files into MPEG, Quicktime, or AVI form with
separate utilities that come with those packages.
