Best .anim file player for KS 1.3 OCS Amigas?
« on: January 02, 2022, 12:04:58 AM »
I have a number of .anim files on my A1000 (WB 1.3) and the ones that play fine are using a combo of programs called Movie and ShowAnim -- some use one, some use another. There are others .anims that will show the first frame and then the program quits, or just Guru the Amiga.
 
What should I play these with?

Looking at the header in a Hex editor, it's nearly the same in all. The recognizable ASCII in the beginning, spaced with high ascii chars, is more or less:  FORM...'ANIMFORM....ILBMBMHD.....

This is a A1000 with 512K CHIP, 8MB FAST, loading from a "HD" (I have a Parceiro device). The anims are not massive in size, maybe 200K, 500K, 1MB, etc. Any help appreciated, thanks.
