Why is it that noone seems to be able to open the gif to mng converter when I click on it it wont open and thats the same thing ive been getting from all my other staff. Somebody fill me in on what the problem is and if possible how to fix

thanks,

Because you don't open it. You drag the gif file onto the .exe, then it converts the file for you. The new .mng file should appear at the bottom of the dir you're in.

mng's sux0rs maN

I don't really see the point. What is so good about mng files?

It is a free format for animated bitmaps. Sounds very useful, if you ask me.

Only thing which makes MNG bad would be lack of support. If IE was ever to add support for MNGs, the popularity would probably go way up.

MNGs work better than Gifs, and maybe they'll one day replace them.

yeah, MNG > GIF. I hate gif so anything can pwn it. >:]

yeah the retarded adopted sister of png. its only differnce from gif is the option to have more than 8 bit color. which is stupid because the file size gets insanely huge.

But if you want to have an animated gif comprised of something with more than 8 bits of color?

That's right. MNG.

Well the thing is I need mng because gif doesent work on the script I made for a class and mng does but now that I have converted it the graphic starts to work but when it gets to the end it seems like it wont loops so I am disapointed and turn to useing the crappy old png with no movement

The cool part is that for below or equal to eight bit of colours, mng probably wins. And above that, mng wins as well as Kamuii pointed out! And you will not get sued for writing programs that create mngs!
