Used to work for me. Both files do load and animation runs with 1.96 ... but with 1.99.1 the black one is not recognized "format could not be determined" ... regression in XN or the APNG is invalid

The largest PNG is "c6" RGBA (OK for NC/XN) while the 2 smaller are "c4" YA (bad luck for NC/XN). > And can it ...

YES I can confirm this :bug: ... examples do have Alpha (!!!) and show well in Opera, but are broken in XN 1.70.3 , 1.98.7 and 1.99.1. Converting those PNG's into BMP with NC also produces garbage.

I'd recommend MUPDF for PDF to PNG "conversion". I don't use GS myself.

Alternatively, use PDFDRAW tool from MUPDF

Vorbis is the audio codec, Theora would be the video codec usually used in OGG files.

Does NConvert have a limit to what it can crop? I doubt it'd be the latter, as 10,000 px isn't very large Note that 10'000 px x 10'000 px needs 286 MiB just to be stored ... depending from NC's internal memory management, it may need more than the double amount of memory to process your request.

YES. Native WebP support: http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?t=24246

WebP is C-code (good) and BSD-license (good). OTOH native JPEG-2000 is rather impossible.

The preferred colorspace is sRGB anyway, not pow(unpredictable random value).

Interest is not that big but I'm "upgrading" this into a request to add native support of:

- EMF / WMF (some (only EMF ?) open source code exists LGPL2)

- SVG (format is open, code unknown)

- WebP (good (?) code exists BSD) http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?t=20962
