Not really. I haven't used anything but Quicktime and AVI codecs
recently.
I believe MNG uses some sort of delta compression like some Quicktime
codecs and the old IFF ANIM format used to. This should compress animation
adequatly, but it is likely that just gziping the lot makes a better job.
Oh well. For us it is actually easier to just use PNG for the animations
as well since the loader code is already there. For artists there are more
tools with PNG than MNG support. So I guess this is not an issue.
