I was being silly myself, making a rhyme and claiming it isn't a rhyme.
Much like Ironic by Alanis Morissette, which she now claims doesn't contain irony and was meant to be ironic in that it didn't have any actual irony in it. Clearly she just didn't know what irony was.

As I understand it it used to be Gay Shift at midnight, then Rob got upset at it turning into just gay jokes and it became Super Happy Fun Time for a while.

What are those two-legged mechanical walking creatures on Star Wars? (Probably in Empire Strikes, yadda) I'd like to get a good pic of one for messing with.

I find it handy.
However: minimise movement between frames (make sure frames are lined up) Lower the colours used Reduce the physical size of the image and then embiggen it later using magic codez (width="originalsize" height="originalsize" inside the img tag

reduce your colour palette

Reduce the lossy ?

I use Gimp cos I'm cheap and there's a couple of tricks I've learned...
You should reduce the pallete (image menu - mode - indexed)
You can get the gimp to optomise (for gif) but the results aren't always good.
The last measure is to put alternate horizontal black lines (every other pixel) on each frame - the gif algorithm seems to benefit greatly from this.
Hope this helps :¬D

I grabbed the video from YouTube (using keepvid)
converted the flv to avi using total video convertor and cropped to the frames I wanted using VirtualDub. Loaded the avi into corel photopaint and used that to edit the last frame to remove W and clone in the background. Saved out as a new avi to keep the quality and they optimized using Ulead GIF animator adding the scan lines by creating a custom fill in Photoshop and adding to the final animation.
Simple really. :)

There's probably a far easier way than this but I like it because it keeps the quality throughout as much as possible.
I also forgot to mention I had to remove every other frame to bring the filesize down. The original gif was nearly 2 meg and board nazis would have spanked me.

I've tried those types of site before
and like you say the quality isn't that great. I like to keep the quality as good as possible up until it's optimized, makes the final version look better, imo.

True enough
I've got great results by putting KeepVid's flv files into VLC Media Player (are you getting the "free" theme of my software collection) then whilst playing in slow motion repeatedly getting snapshots. I don't know which method is more of a pain - yours or mine.

Honestly the part that took the longest
was cutting gorgeous George out and cloning in the background. All the converting was done in less that 10 minutes and the optimizing in about the same.
Plus, all the software I mentioned is free, if you know where to look. ;)
Although Media Player Classic lets you save a video as a single image of thumbnails if you felt like cropping each one and pasting individually into a single animated gif. But that is really tedious.

Why thank you. My mind set was 1) Bush shoe incident 2) Add silly face 3) Hilarity and fame ensues.....
I too use gimp, and tried that optimise for gif which took the file down to 500k. Still much too large so I went and cropped the image to as small as I could get away with ;)

Ooh, the milkmen now aren't like they were in my day.
They just used to leave inanimate, non-violent milk. Which was fine by me. It's all 'choice, choice, choice' nowadays. Oi, Dairy Crest! I don't want violent condiments delivered to my door, got it?
