How to make a GifPEG

>>320941 1. Collect all the .mpg's you want to embed and copy them to a temporary folder, preferrably something easy to get to like C:\gifpegs. 2. Open the folder, go to "View" menu > Thumbnails, position the window so you can see as many thumbnails as possible, and press the Print Screen key. 3. Open two instances of Paint. In one window, press CTRL+E to go to the Attributes menu and set the size to 1x1 pixels. You only need to do this once. We'll call this the "GIF window" to avoid confusion. 4. In the other window, press CTRL+V to paste the screenshot you took. We'll call this the "screenshot window." 5. In the screenshot window, Zoom in on a thumbnail, select it and press CTRL+C. 6. Switch to the GIF window, press CTRL+V to paste the thumbnail, go to File > Save As and save it as a GIF file in our temporary folder, with the same name as the .mpg that the thumbnail belongs to (minus the extension). 7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until each .mpg has a corresponding .gif. 8. Go to Start Menu > Run, type "cmd" without quotes and press enter. 9. In the command prompt, type "cd <temp folder pathname>", for example "cd c:\gifpegs". WITHOUT QUOTES. 10. For every mpeg/gif pair, type: "copy /b <name>.gif + <name>.mpg <name>_mpg.gif" Replace <name> with the first part of the .mpg name.
This technique works for .RAR files as well, not just .MPG's, but I don't know if it works for *everything*...
