Use XCC Mixer to convert the video to either AVI or multiple images and then use Image Ready to convert it to an animated gif.

If this doesn't work, download Camtasia Studio from www.techsmith.com, load the avi into it, make some adjustments to the video if you whish and then convert it to an animated gif file. Make sure you've enabled "tittered color reduction" and disabled "include windows colors". You'll have to test both Optimized Palette and Fixed palette and which one gives the best results; just try Optimized Palette first and see if it gives any green dots and if it does, use Fixed Palette instead.
Now open the animated gif with Image Ready (and transfer it to Photoshop if nessesary) to make some final adjustments.

ok now how do i put it in to my current signature?

[Bittah Commander]

When you finished it, make sure it's file size is smaller than 1 MB (if it isn't, you can transfer it to Photoshop and use "Save for web" to reduce it's file size) and upload it to an image host (like http://imageshack.us) and link to the URL of the image in your sig (in between the [IMG] and [/IMG] tags).

[Nintyuk]

no i mean
how do i put my current sig as a backround and add frames in?

[Bittah Commander]

Copy it and phase it in Image Ready/Photoshop (with the animated gif already loaded) and set it as background.

[Nintyuk]

The old one!


Compleated!
Thanks Britta for the help!

Wow that looks nice. Good job, Nintyuk. I should really look in to making an animated sig/avatar of my own...

...when time permits

[Nintyuk]

Hey i might make a tortorial out of this unless Bittah gets there first
