VideoMach is good. It's a free download, but I'm not sure if it supports IFF. I know fcheck doesn't for some strange reason. Is it at all possible to re-batch render in tiff or better yet - targa?

I would suggest using targa files for sequential rendering.

oh and virtualdub is also good - supports targa sequences.

Targas are solid, but iff files are so much smaller. We're talking over 1 MB per image some times. That can add up fast.
