Well, just thought the world needed a decent MNG compiler, something where to drag and drop several still images or an animated gif and have them converted to MNG, of course, using the PNGOUT compression capabilities.
Would it be possible?, if so, would you ever do it?.

In fact, I did write a MNGOUT program based on my PNGOUT library. I didn't want to spend all year on it, so I stopped after getting MNG-VLC (very low complexity) working. I got tired of the lack of support for MNG so I didn't bother taking it any further. I am NOT considering a release of MNGOUT since ADVMNG pretty much blows my program away in every respect. Also, I would recommend using uncompressed AVI instead of MNG since it has much higher application support right now.

Well, the reason MNG isn't widely supported is basically ignorance. If the big browsers came with MNG support (plugins are already there) and bit of publicity was done, gif's would start being replaced.
