i installed the proper xanim once.  the version that gap requests is
seriously broken.  when i used it to extract video frames from one of my
movies, it extracted frames without a blue chanel (see
http://carol.gimp.org/gimp/techniques/photographs/movies/).
i am now using gap successfully and xanim is not installed here.  please 
make certain you have installed the supporting software that is listed in 
the README file and avoid using xanim to extract frames with.  unless you 
dont want the blue chanel 

feel free to ask other questions as they arise.

Hi Carol,
please excuse the long absence time, as I was outdoors spending some 
holydays.

I upgraded the Gimp-gap to version 2.0.2 and installed, without 
problems,  the following packages:

mpeg2vidcodec_12 (MPEG-2 Encoder / Decoder, Version 1.2)
mpeg_encode-1.5b
mpeg_play-2.4
wavplay-1.4
MPlayer-1.0pre6
However, if I try to open Xtns - Split video to frames - Hummingbird.avi
(from http://carol.gimp.org/gimp/techniques/photographs/movies/) the 
Gimp gives the same error message about Xanim instead working with the 
above mentioned programs. Xanim istn't installed at all !
The avi file works in MPlayer without problems.
Thanks for your assistance

Beatriz

there should be two options in the Xtns --Split Video to Frames Menu,
Any XANIM readable which uses XANIM and Extract Videorange which
uses MPlayer.  

use Extract Videorange.  that hummingbird.avi came from a tutorial
about my first time with gap which was interesting.  my later experience
and better experiences with gap can be found here:

 So how come I've only got the first of these? This is gimp-2.2-pre. Do I 
 need to upgrade? Mplayer is installed.

okay, let me start by confessing that i have no idea what i added to my
MPlayer that got that working.  the MPlayer documentation is full of
suggestions for supporting software and i found myself looking for
software in many places i would not usually get software from.  i
eventually drew the line and would only get the suggested software from
ibiblio if it was not available from the gnuish sites i am acustomed to.

(recently my faith in this site experienced a set back from some
interesting screenshots which a lot of work went into but contained only
not free and not even smart file formats)

one more confession, i can extract frames with the MPlayer i built but
my MPlayer will not show video here.  it looks like i built all of this
in october of last year and there is a more current version that might
work.

i find it interesting that you do not have both options as well, since i
have the XANIM dependent option but since i do not have XAnim installed,
i get instructed to install it and told where to get it in an error
dialog.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/build/gap$ whereis mencoder
mencoder: /usr/local/bin/mencoder

i think you should see what you need to do to get mencoder installed.

carol

to the best of my knowledge, gap uses mencoder to extract frames with.

Carol, that is the problem: I don't have the option Extract Videorange 
I only have Any XANIM readable. I have the programs installed in 
/usr/bin that is in the path. The option Video is working I did some 
tutorials with it.

sorry for my rambling answer to the same question on this list.

i built my own MPlayer and installed a lot of software.  the problem
with this is that i don't know which software i installed that triggered
the option in the menu.

the software i got to build mplayer for gap with is this:
ffmpeg-0.4.8
libdivxdecore-0.4.7
mpeg2vidcodec_v12
nasm-0.98.38
xvidcore-1.0.2

i seem to remember removing the things that did not work or install from
that directory.

i wish i understood the software more and could give more specific help.

Carol is using the CVS version of GAP which has much better support
for importing video and doesn't any longer rely on the outdated XAnim.
