Mentor request for gif redraw

[töff]

Yeh, I only see the GIF. I'm on Firefox 3.5.3.

I'd never heard of the MNG. I was just checking out its site. Cool! About time for a multibit-alpha animated format. It's like Ping and Gif had a love child ... Piff.

Yeah, unfortunately its been about for a while and its not really took off well. I think with the full color pixels then there is very little match between similar but not exactly the same frames so it practically has to encode them all as full PNGs. This is unlike say MJPEG which compresses across the series in time as well as X-Y and because JPG is lossy then it can munge it in 3 dimensions and compresses it a lot better. Still, it looks like Opera also does not see it so I think all three big gun browsers on windows at least cant do it. God help up if Safari see it fine - we'll never hear the end of it... So yeah its potentially cool but in reality its not gonna happen. Shame cos I could point out the great quality difference between the two anims. And you can have faded transparency on MNG too unlike gif.

I tried with Safari 4.0.3 for Windows.

No MNG.
