Does it absolutely *have* to be Windows Media 9?  Can you do something 
more generic/universal like MPEG?  If so, that's what I would 
recommend.  Also, Cleaner 6 will only do up to Windows Media 7.  If 
just absolutely positively can *not* be anything other than Windows 
Media 9, then I think you'll have to do it on a Windoze box.

(What do you mean by "digital projection"?  Do you mean someone will 
play it from a PC through a projector using the Windows Media 9 
player?)

You might want to use QuickTime Player (Pro) to convert the series of 
TIFFs into a single file that would be easier to manage -- and maybe 
smaller (use Animation or PhotoJPEG codec at highest quality).
