Can't convert a MNG to Animated GIF

Post by simpleuser »

I would like to convert a MNG to its GIF equivalent (patent sucks, but most browser don't support MNG out of the box).

Code: Select all

nconvert -colours 256 -out gif test.mng
only gives me a one-frame gif with the first frame of the mng

If I split the MNG to PNG :

Code: Select all

nconvert -colours 256 -n 0 449 1 -out gif -o test.gif ########.png
converts every frame to test.gif, overwriting each other. so at the end, test.gif is the last PNG frame.

Thanks in advance.

This has been already pointed 1'000'000'000 times and summarized here:

No AGIF or APNG creation in NCONVERT (nor XNVIEW) :-(

Bad, but already pointed here: http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?t=15834

Nevertheless, you can get all frames, see http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?t=15836 .
