Is there any gif creator out there that is free? I want to convert mpeg, wmv, and other movie files like that. Tried Cnet, but everything there sucks.

Look for Ulead Gif Animator.No link sorry.But that's what you want.

I had a gif converter but i cannot remember its name.

However here r some links u can try
