I didn't know it used XAnim code. However, this doesn't change the central
element of my statement - that the latest codecs (ie. the codecs useful
for recent anims) are unlikely to appear for any Amiga implementation (and
for x86 Linux too for that matter).
The most important codec that falls into this category is the Sorenson
codec, which is proprietary and licenced exclusively to Apple. Of less
importance is the DivX codec from Microsoft. MPEG4 is also missing at
present, but I expect that to arrive in the near future.
