There are several programs that do what you want. I don't know which one you are looking for. Start here: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=gif+animator
I tryied with some programs and this is what i found: Animagic GIF Animator 1.06 -- Works But Crashes ALOT 2-5 http://www.google.com.au/search?q=A...ient=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official Babarosa GIF Animator 3.6 -- Does Not Support But Good Tools & Options 4-5 http://www.google.com.au/search?hs=...q=Babarosa+GIF+Animator+3.6&btnG=Search&meta= Artful GIF Animator 1.3 -- Works Well But Not Many Tools & Options 3.5-5 http://www.google.com.au/search?hs=...l&q=Artful+GIF+Animator+1.3&btnG=Search&meta= Have A Look A the Output GIF File From Artful GIF Animator 1.3: I will try some more out!
How concerned are you about the quality? If you don't mind having a little grainyness try and get a copy of Macromedia Flash 8, it has a built in video encoder. You can import into flash, mess with it all you want(even add in animation if you choose) then publish it as a GIF. I did this with some Counter Strike Source videos I was making and it was very fluid and pretty high res.
Codeman74 have u tryied avi files because the ONLY format i know and used that gif animators will take
i never could convert a video into AVI. i use a program called video 9. but then once you turn it to avi it saves in the video 9.
a very simple way is useing windows movie maker and save it as a avi file. there should alot of compression options
