- + IFF animations. The following features are sup-
- ported:
- -> Compressions 3,5,7,J(movies) and l(small L).
- -> Color cycling during single images and anims.
- -> Display Modes: depth 1-8, EHB, HAM and HAM8.
- + GIF87a and GIF89a files.
- -> single and multiple images supported.
- -> GIF89a animation extensions supported.
- + GIF89a animation extension support.
- + a kludgy text file listing gifs and what order to
- show them in.
- + DL animations. Formats 1, 2 and most of 3.
- + Amiga PFX(PageFlipper Plus F/X) animations. DISABLED TEMPORARILY.
- + Amiga MovieSetter animations(For those Eric Schwartz
- fans).
- + Utah Raster Toolkit RLE images and anims.
- + AVI animations. Currently supported are
- -> IBM Ultimotion (ULTI) depth 16.
- -> JPEG (JPEG) depth 24.
- -> Motion JPEG (MJPG) depth 24.
- -> Intergraph JPEG (IJPG) depth 24.
- -> Microsoft Video 1 (CRAM) depth 8 and 16.
- -> Radius Cinepak (CVID) depth 24. (see cinepak.readme)
- -> Intel Indeo 3.1 (IV31) depth 24. (see indeo.readme)
- -> Intel Indeo 3.2 (IV32) depth 24. (see indeo.readme)
- -> Intel Raw YUV (YUV9) depth 24. (see indeo.readme)
- -> Creative CYUV (CYUV) depth 16. (see creative.readme)
- -> Uncompressed (RGB ) depth 4.
- -> Uncompressed (RGB ) depth 8.
- -> Uncompressed (RGB ) depth 16.
- -> Uncompressed (RGB ) depth 24.

- NEXTSTEP Notes
-
- * Build with NEXTSTEP developer 3.3pl1, and Xnext X11R6 libraries.
- * Since this IS an X11 app, you'll need an X11 Server for NEXTSTEP to
- use/view on a NEXTSTEP/OpenStep machine.

- Radius Cinepak and Intel Indeo CODEC support
-
- NOTE: Radius Cinepak and Intel Indeo CODECS are not compiled into
- this version of xanim. The author, Mark Podlipec CAN distribute
- pre-compiled object-files for linking in support for these, but
- does NOT have a NEXTSTEP/OpenStep machine on which to do it. If
- anyone is willing to donate a machine to Mark or invite him
- to do it on a machine of yours, GREAT!
-
- Here's Mark's reply to my inquiry about this:

-
- Nope, I'm under NDA and can not send the source across the net to a remote
- machine that I have no control over.
-
- > or 2) Do you mean, actually giving you the machine?
-
- Yes, although usually a cross-compiler is the way to go. It's
- less effort on my part. Although having the machine means I
- have the ability to work on/improve audio support for that
- machine and can easily port/debug future codecs(but I'm so
- swamped right now, I wouldn't have time to learn a new machine
- until at least June or July).

-
- I'm open to suggestions.
