They are not the only options, but GIF is not interactive. unless the
specific driver for the GIF image makes it so.
Remember GIF is really just a file containing multiple images. When
Netscape added GIF animations, it classified that sequence as an
fixed animation. Other GIF players could use the images in a different
way, though only Window managers and GUI interfaces seem to do this to
allos two or more 'button press' type indications on there controls.
that is very specific an fixed usage.
For interactivity the only real option is shockwave or java program
interfaces.

I am not familier with the Mpeg video format, so I don't know much about
its use and operation. IM only have a minimul video handling as the
feild is too complex and changing to allow it to do so. better to use
other programs for video generation.
