I'm going with.. google for "convert avi gif forum" (without the quotes). This will find forum posts where people say how to do this

There's a zoo of various flash | interlaced video to gif freeware on the web. Personally I've never experimented with any of them.

My protocol for converting videos into gif format typically involves Adobe Flash CS3's app for the metamorphose. From here I'll embed the video into a time line and usually save it as a gif.

All of the NHL'94 animated sprites I've done involve Gens K Mod, which takes a BMP screen capture of every frame. Usually some batch processing is done with Adobe's obsolete ImageReady using the sequence of captures, or I'll do it the hard way by adjusting the frames manually.

If there's a gif you want I could help you out.
