Christian,

Thank you very much. Now it works fine with xanim.

Just now I have installed mpeg_play
http://bmrc.berkeley.edu/frame/research/mpeg/mpeg_play.html

./mpeg_play animation.mpg
specified dither requires 8 bit display
trying -dither color
Junk at start of stream, searching for start code
This is not an MPEG video stream. (0)
Skipping movie 0, "animation.mpg" - not an MPEG stream
X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  40 (X_TranslateCoords)
  Resource id in failed request:  0x4000002
  Serial number of failed request:  24
  Current serial number in output stream:  24

How can I resolve this issue ? I am new to mpg, avi etc.

Thanks in advance

                                    Nils
