VCD Encoding.
I must learn how to do it again. I haven't tried in a few years.
Also, I need to figure out how to rip directly from video source into .gif image. I don't care how large the .gif is, I plan on making it smaller via careful editing. But I need that direct conversion, because otherwise I need to shut off hardware acceleration so I can screencap from media player, crop, save-as, etc.
And there's got to be a better way.
I mean, it'd be great to have some avatar images for the hell of it....
