+
+<P>The <B>GIF</B> format is a common format for web graphics.  There are two
+  versions of the GIF spec, GIF87a and GIF89a.  The main difference is that
+  GIF89a allows for animation.  MPlayer supports both formats through use
+  of libungif or another libgif-compatible library.  Non-animated GIFs will
+  be displayed as single frame videos.  (Use the <CODE>-loop</CODE> and
+  <CODE>-fixed-vo</CODE> options to display these longer.)</P>
+
+<P>MPlayer currently does not support seeking in GIF files.  GIF files do
+  not necessarily have a fixed frame size, nor a fixed framerate.  Rather,
+  each frame is of independant size and is supposed to be positioned in a
+  certain place on a field of fixed-size.  The framerate is controlled by
+  an optional block before each frame that specifies a next frame's delay
+  in centiseconds.</P>
+
+<P>Standard GIF files contain 24-bit RGB frames with at most an 8-bit
+  indexed pallete.  These frames are usually LZW-compressed, although
+  some GIF encoders produce uncompressed frames to avoid patent issues
+  with LZW compression.</P>
+  
+<P>Though many common Linux distributions come with libungif, you can
+  download a copy from the following address:
