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: http://www.halcyon.com/www2/dwd/ 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. --Russ _____________________________________________________________________ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu
