See <http://clem.mscd.edu/~talmanl/MathAnim.html>.

In past versions of Mathematica, I've found that the QT export  
facility was unsatisfactory.  I construct animations by writing  
serially named .gifs or .pngs to a convenient directory and then  
using either QuickTime itself, or, better, Thorsten Lemke's Graphic  
Converter (Macintosh software) to paste those graphics files together  
into a QuickTime movie.
