You might want to try some of the multimedia-related Linux newsgroups
and/or try contacting the xanim author and showing them your video.
Your problem, however, does not seem to be specific to Mandrake or to
your hardware, so I think you'll need to get in touch with
xanim/multimedia experts, and I'm afraid that's not us. (The fact that
I've taken the lead on responding to this thread is proof enough of
*that*.)
