capturing frames for a gif

[nodeg]

Hi. I'm trying to make an animated gif using captures from a divx file. Can anyone point me in the right direction on what software i could use and a good method to do it?

Open your clip using VirtualDub http://www.virtualdub.org
Using the slider at the bottom, or by using Video -> Select range, select the range of frames you want in your GIF animation.
Click File -> save Image sequence. You can save the series of frames as BMP images.
You will need to use a Animation tool - search the internet for shareware GIF creation tools. You can load the created images into the GIF creation software and create your animated GIF.

Load the AVI into Animation Shop 3, it comes with Paint Shop Pro 7. Select rage or load all frames !!!
