Well here’s the whole thing frame by frame.
I’m pretty sure ze’s deduction about Ifranview filling all the transparent colors with black is correct.
I can’t explain why frame 1, 3, and 34 are so distorted however.
I’m going to take a guess at what’s wrong with this.
One way GIFs work is by sequentially showing layers, with each layer being a frame. Some GIFS’ layers are made in a way that if a given pixel on one frame doesn’t change color, successive frames will not have a pixel there and thus will be transparent. What I think this program is doing is replacing the transparent areas with black.
This theory would explain about 85% of what’s wrong with this GIF.
IrfanView is a weird program. It advertises itself as “the first Windows graphic viewer worldwide with multiple-GIF support”, but it can’t display most animated GIFs correctly.
