I use the animation palette in Photoshop CS3 - it's a heck of a lot more flexible than imageready, but if the caps are high quality, you'll end up with a large file size either way. There are ways to minimise size - you can selectively delete frames that have very little variance between them, or you can isolate/lasso figures and dispense with the background to lower the pixel count. Desaturating some colours and selective sharpening helps too. I can try to do it for you, if you like.
