Ryo,

I use mecoder with the msmpeg4v2 codec. I is played well even by an out-of-the-box Windows Media Player. Attached is the installation script I use and a two pass (Please don't ask me why. It is based on some tutorial of which I don't seem to be able to find the link now and mostly try and error ...) encoding with 8 frames per second (fps). Note that I convert the GIFs to PNG before encoding the movie. I've had problems with using JPEGs from different sources (when including a short introductory part into the movie) which were not present when using PNGs.

I also used mencoder to convert the resulting AVI to FLV which then can be embedded in any website together with a free FLV player (like this one: http://www.platipus.nl/flvplayer/ ... not sure about the license ...). Sometimes that's a good back-up solution which can be played on virtually every computer with a recent browser + flash player. Think I started here http://www.jeremychapman.info/cms/mencoder-avi-to-flv-conversion to learn how to do that.

Regards,
Willi
