I'm not sure if ImageMagick is included, try `animate anim.gif`

Load the image in The GIMP. Then right-click the image, select "Filters" from the menu that pops up.

From there, go to the "Animation" submenu. Under there, pick "Animation Playback".

Enjoy!

xanim should work for both types you mentioned.

xtheater (xtheater.sourceforge.net) has better .avi support since it uses the windows codecs to play them. Although if they're not working in windows it may be a moot point.

MpegTV Player

Installation 

ccd try
tfe ~/dl/mustH_b/media/mpg/mtv-1.2.5.tar.gz
cd mtv
cp mtv mtvp /opt/bin/
cp mtv.1 /opt/man/man1/
mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/mtvp/voh/
cp voh_sdl.so /usr/local/lib/mtvp/voh/
chmod 644 /usr/local/lib/mtvp/voh/voh_sdl.so

Help 

Copy the executable binaries mtv and mtvp anywhere in your PATH.

voh_sdl.so (if available) is an extension for fullscreen support. It should be copied in the directory /usr/local/lib/mtvp/voh/ (you must create this directory if it does not exist).

mtv

its free (as in beer) to use the command-line version, but shareware for the GUI controls (pretty inexpensive though)

Try SoundStudio. But I think the best solution is the 'rec' program :).

cmd:Grip 

Description 

Grip is a gtk-based cd-player and cd-ripper. It has the ripping capabilities of []cdparanoia http://www.xiph.org/paranoia/index.html builtin, but can also use external rippers (such as []cdda2wav). It ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/cdda2wav/ also provides an automated frontend for MP3 encoders, letting you take a disc and transform it easily straight into MP3s. The CDDB protocol is supported for retrieving track information from disc database servers. Grip works with []DigitalDJ to provide a unified http://nostatic.org/ddj/ddj.html "computerized" version of your music collection. GCD is the cd-player only version of Grip (for those who aren't interested in *track ripping/encoding).

Features

Installation 

Build & Installation Under Solaris

make check

Compiling For Multiple Architectures

You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their own directory. To do this, you must use a version of 'make' that supports the 'VPATH' variable, such as GNU 'make'. 'cd' to the directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run the 'configure' script. 'configure' automatically checks for the source code in the directory that 'configure' is in and in '..'.

X MPEG Player System 2.0

Review 

XMPS is a movie player for X-11.

The program depends on SMPEG and SDL to play MPEG-1 files, and is fully skinnable.

XMPS also features playlist support, and the latest beta can use Windows DLLs to play AVI encoded with DivX codecs.
