Hola DaNi!
For converting an .anim to a series of iff files you may use ADPro`s arexx user command BustAnim.adpro .
As for the CDXL anim, I tried the ADPro datatype with
this script. It`s easy, but doesn`t leave any space for the audio. It also crops the anim.
I tried the command line XLMake alone, and in combination with its GUI (XLTOOLKITGUI), but it crashes (Software failure: suspend/reboot on AMiGA -Alert Code: 80000004-, Guru reset on UAE). After running Enforcer, I found incremental byte-writes on base memory ($00000000). Something is wrong with this little proggie, even if it gives you the power to control the CDXL format.
After reading the DevCD docs and having a long search in the Net, I found out that there is no real documentation on the format, not to speak for tutorials...
Some problems:
The CDXL is not fullscreen (although some claim to have seen CD?? anims in full screen. My "Tower Assault" CD is 1/2-3/4 of the screen video).
It was introduced for the CDTV, so HAM modes are enabled, What about AGA and HAM8 (the DevCD has the same CDXL tools in the CDTV/CD?? drawers, more or less)?
The animation FPS seems to be dependant of the medium speed (data flow) : The Alien Breed intro anim goes as fast as the CDRom drive is (runs smoothly only on my real CD?? x2 CD drive)!
