aKtion! is a video player based on xanim. It (xanim) supports many different file formats:

AVI animations.
Quicktime Animations.
FLI animations.
FLC animations.
IFF animations.
GIF87a and GIF89a files.
GIF89a animation extension support.
DL animations. Formats 1, 2 and most of 3.
Amiga MovieSetter animations(For those Eric Schwartz fans).

SGI Movie Format Files.

During a video playback, you can press the 'c' key to capture the current frame being played. You don't need to pause the video, just press the 'c' key. The frames will be saved in the "Output directory" (see the configuration dialog in the "Capture" tab), with the specified format. They will have the name of the current file followed by a number which indicates the capture order (e.g. "myVideo1.bmp myVideo2.bmp ...").


These are the install instructions:

1. Uncompress the aktion.tgz file in the usual way (try Ark ;-)
2. Go into the /aktion-0.4.1 directory.
3. Type "./configure"
4. Then "make"
5. And finally (as root) "make install"
