162 <P><B>FLI</B> is a very old fileformat used by Autodesk Animator, but it's
163 a common fileformat for short animations on the Net. <B>MPlayer</B> demuxes
164 and decodes FLI movies and is even able to seek within them (useful when
165 looping with the -loop option). FLI files don't have keyframes, so picture
166 will be messy for a short time after seeking.</P>

171 <P>Yes, <B>MPlayer</B> can read (demux) RealMedia (.rm) files. Seeking
172 is under implementation, and RM has keyframes so it will be flawless.
