Imageready pumps out less-than-quick gifs when it comes to live-action...

A friend of mine showed me a gif he found : here

See how fast that is? Now look at this one: here and here

See how those looks a lot less speedy?

What I'm getting at is how do I make these super speedy GIF images? Imageready will not produce anything of that speed... I want to make GIFs like the first one! XD

[EDIT]

Now look - I loaded that really fats gif into Imaeready and exported it with "No delay" selected as the default interval (0 seconds) and look what I get! : here

The first one was definately faster than you think could be possible with dial-up, but, unfortunately I have no idea how to make that happen unless your really good at stuff like that. believe me, I wish that AOL would start using that kind of graphics in its music video section.
Flash MX 2004 can make animated .gifs of ANY speed.

Ok, thanks I will look into that! :)

I export video clips as uncompressed AVI's and then I open it in imageready and set it to "every 3rd frame" and it makes it really smooth and fast :D

Here's a long one (500 kb) with "every 4th frame" enabled. here

Your connection speed has nothing to do with how fast gifs are animated. If it did, you'd be viewing a streaming image, and I don't think they make streaming .gifs.

Your connection speed only determines how fast you can download the files from the webserver.

...and another.

Around 360 kb this time w/ a sexy Kujila overlay =P

Some browsers at least can animate the GIF frame-by-frame as it downloads. If you watch a really long looped GIF animation load up on a slowish connection, it will start out slow and jerky the first play-through; then when it loops around the second time, it suddenly speeds up. So yeah, GIFs can be sort of streamed. =) (I assume that the frames are stored sequentially in the image file, which is why that can happen.)

That's taking my statement too technically. As I said, your connection speed only affects how long they take to download. Since it is still downloading it bit by bit, your browser is only showing what it has downloaded --just like a web page. Therefore, my statement still stands.
In response to Ter13
There's no need to be so defensive. I was just pointing something out, and I never said you were completely wrong. You're just not entirely right. =)

Besides:

1. Your connection speed affects how fast the GIF is downloaded. [by definition]
2. How fast the GIF is downloaded does affect how fast the first play-through of the animation is played. [by observation]
3. Therefore, combining (1) and (2), the connection speed sometimes DOES have something to do with how fast GIFs are animated.
4. Point (3) contradicts your original statement.

QED. =P

Ah... I see now I should have said "almost nothing"... Ah well.

Kiss, make up, and watch TV!

It's mainly just the frame rate, I'm not a big gif animator, but if you were to lower the amount of frames and take out unnecessary ones when playing, then it will appear a lot faster, or should at least.
In response to Crispy
so, if I let it play through then gop back to it, I can listen/watch the music videos without it stopping all the itme for a few seconds? Thank you for that advice, I will store it forever in my memory. :)
In response to Jamesburrow
Yup. Works for most streaming content, not just GIFs. (Some players won't let you pause and still keep downloading, which is really annoying; but you can minimize the window and turn the sound off while it plays if that's a huge problem.)
