Adrian: Just thought I'd give some info on which file formats are supported by Xanim as there was a discussion a little while back about using it to provide quicktime support on Linux. Adrian: The support protocols are: FLI, FLC, IFF, GIF87a, FIG89a, DL animations, Amiga MovieSetter, Utah Raster Toolkey RLE, AVI (Supported Video Codecs: IBM Ultimotion, JPEG, Motion JPEG, Intergraph JPEG, Microsoft Video 1, Radius Cinepak, Intel Indeo 3.1 & 3.2, Intel Raw YUV, Creative CYUV, Uncompressed) (Support audio codecs for avi: PCM, uLAW, MSADPCM, Intel DVI, GSM 6.10), QuickTime animations (Supported Video Codecs: Uncompressed, Apple Graphics, Apple Animation, Apple Video, Radius Cinepak, Intel Indeo 3.1 & 3.2, Intel Raw YUV, Component Video, Photo JPEG, Kodak Photo CD, Microsoft Video 1) (Support audio codecs: Unsigned PCM, Signed PCM, uLAW, IMA4, GSM 6.10), SGI Movie Format Files (Video codecs: MVC1, MVC2, JPEG) (Audio Codecs: Singned & Unsigned PCM), WAV, AU, JFIF, MPEG (only type 1 frames are displayed, type B & P frames are ignored and it doesn't handle MPEGs with audio streams). WAV & AU audio files may have their sound added to any animation type that doesn't already have audio, by specifying the .wav file after the animation file on the command line. All this is taken from the man page which provides more details as well (and in a better format). I can send it to anyone who is interested. It should be noted that Xanim doesn't fully support QuickTime, but it's the best option I've heard yet. Adrian.
