I'm looking to convert some MPEG's into GIF's for avatars. (Mostly from some BeatMania IIDX videos - No.13 and Love Is Eternity for starters.  ) I've tried screwing with GIMP 2.0 - no dice. Any other programs, or do I have to break out my Photoshop 7 and install it with WINE?

There may be a more efficient way to do it, but I'd do it by using mplayer to dump to jpeg, then convert the desired jpegs to gif. (Actually I'd dump directly to png and forget gif, but whatever.)
| Code: | | mplayer -nosound -ao null -vo jpeg somevideo.mpg |
Be aware that this will create a huge number of files so you'll likely want to narrow it down by using the "-ss" option to seek into the video first and the "-frames" option to specify the number to dump.
From there you can use gimp/imagemagick/whatever to convert to gif.
