hi there,
my company just provided a new free online service. This one allows you to convert almost any video into a animated giv. I was very supprised myself how many people are looking for sutch conversion and how few solutions are there for this one. So what you can do there is:
* avi to gif
* mpeg to gif
* mov to gif
* flv to gif
* asf to gif
* wmv to gif
* 3gp to gif
* many other 
so if you need this conversion once… go to:
cu and till next time
