Saving animation on a mac

[Drumhead Dad]

I need some help saving an animation made in Mandelbulb 3D so I can play it bac on a mac. I downloaded the mac version but when it comes to all the drop down windows the all seem to be in windows format
I made an animation,saved it for further work but when I went to open it its all in .bmp which is a bitmap and apple cant read...... the only way I can watch it is to open as layers in Gimp and then use the animation playback machine to watch.
What am I missing here

Please help

I have a mac, but it runs OSX 10.5 - so this may not apply, but when I ran MB3D I used WINE as an emulator and everything worked exactly as on my windows machine, drop down menus and everything  (actually - I never heard of that problem - what do you mean by windows format drop down menus?).

As for bmp files, just change it to png in the animation maker window  

Once running WINE, go to Sourceforge and get the program VirtualDub.  Best free program ever for working with image sequences despite being windows only.

I do not know of any mac programs that will play an animation sequence without spending a fortune!  You need something on a par with Adobe Premiere / After Effects to do that.  

Good luck with it and I hope that helps
