Video Capture -> Animated Gif

[Gargoyle]

So... if I had a few frames from a DVD that I captured, what's the best program to use to make them into an animated .gif? I've got a few ideas for avatars and other annoying distractions :)

I use Ulead GIF Animator (http://www.ulead.com/ga/trial.htm)

Or if you have lots of money to spend, Adobe After Effects ($1000+)
