Short: XAnim: Avi/Quicktime/FLI/FLC/IFF/GIF/MPEG/ etc..player..
Author: Mark Podlipec/Terje Pedersen (Amiga part)
Uploader: terjepe@stud.cs.uit.no
Type: gfx/show
XAnim is an animation viewer (version 2.69.7.6)
at least 68020+WB2.04 is needed, but you don't need an X11 server running!
This is a 'no changes whatsoever' 'port' of the X11 animation viewer Xanim
(ok, 3 lines containing X11_LSB had to be changed to X11_MSB..)
by Mark Podlipec. It means that the program relies on my libX11 to run, and
does everything in the same manner as the X11 version does. Which means
internally it uses a chunky representation of the frames and isn't what
you would call fast! (great on my A4000/040 though!)
some info from the xanim.man file:
XAnim is a program that can display animations of various
formats on systems running X11. XAnim currently supports
the following animation types:
+ FLI animations.

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 3. TEMPORARILY DISABLED.
+ 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.
-> SuperMac Cinepak (CVID) depth 24.
-> Uncompressed (RGB ) depth 8
-> Run length encoded (RLE8) depth 8.
+ Quicktime Animations. The following features are
supported:
-> Uncompressed (RAW ) depth 4,8,16,24,24+ and GRAY 4,8.
-> Apple Graphics (RLE ) depth 1,8,16 and 24 and GRAY 8.

-> Supports single-fork and separate .rsrc and .data forks.
+ JFIF images. NOTE: use XV for single images. This is more
for animation of a sequence of JPEG images.
+ MPEG animations. Currently only Type I Frames are
displayed. Type B and Type P frames are currently
ignored, but will be added in future revs.
+ WAV 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. Currently
only the PCM audio codec is supported.
+ any combination of the above on the same command
line.

Reported to work on:
Amiga 3000 with EGS Spectrum board (promoting XAnim)
Amiga 3000 with Picasso II (promoting Xanim)
Amiga 4000 native
Amiga 4000 with EGS Spectrum board (promoting XAnim)
So there is a slight chance it will work on others too!
