Animated gifs can be quite funny at times, for instance when users on your favorite forum use them as forum signatures. A single animated gif on a web page can slow down the loading of the page seriously, as it is not seldom that their size exceeds a couple of hundred Kilobytes.
Video2GIF is a super simple way to convert any video that can be opened by Quicktime (mov, m4v, mp4, mpg, H.264,
flv, wmv, avi, xvid and others*) to Animated GIF.
