What is a free program that will convert avi files to gif?
I don’t care if it’s good or not. I just need it to take in my avi file, and without resizing it, adding to it, or changing the colors of it, turn it into an animated gif file.
Puh, thats something I would really not suggest doing. GIF is limited to 256 colors per frame, which will likely make your AVI look horrible after converting. Also you should know, that GIF encodes each frame individually, while AVI formats generally only store differences between frames. Converting from AVI to to GIF will make the resulting file quite huge.
If you still want to do it, I’d suggest using a tool that can dump the single frames of the movie as individual JPG files and then feed those to a GIF animator. You can use mplayer for dumping and GiftedMotion for encoding (make sure, that the amount of JPG files and sizes stays reasonably small, otherwise encoding will take forever). The command to dump:
mplayer movie.avi -vo jpeg -frames 100
GiftedMotion is a GUI tool, no commandline invocation needed
