This directory holds some FLI/FLC animated movies, and a java applet to display them.
FLI movies are an old, maybe Autocad inspired format. It is based on GIFs, and the differences between successive frames. The html files below will show you the (probably very boring) movies generated from the Logitech/Connectix Color Quickcam I have on my desk. This machine is uses linux, and if I were to buy another webcam, it would not be from Logitech.
Once the Quickcam was working, it was fairly simple to string together a set of unix scripts using public domain software to create these movies.
ppm2fli -g320x200 -f makestdinppm $TEMPFILE $MOVIEPREFIX.fliwas the exact command I used
#! /bin/bash convert - ppm:-It uses ImageMagick's

cp ${FileCurrent} ${FileNew}
which may look complicated, but is fairly easy to learn and modify.
