In addition to playing motion video with the digital video device, you can also play FLC and FLI animation files. FLC and FLI are the standard file formats for most animation tools. The FLI file format is most common. FLI is limited to a 320 x 200 display resolution and a custom 256-color palette. The FLC file format is an extension to FLI and allows a 640 x 480 resolution.

The FLC/FLI video files do not contain any audio data. However, the digital video device will search for an audio file (.WAV) with the same base name as the animation file in the same directory. If such a file exists, the audio is played with the animation file In the previous example, if a file named CARTOON.WAV exists, the audio file plays with the animation file and continues to play until CARTOON.FLC ends.
Seeking within a FLC/FLI file is not supported because these files contain only one initial I-frame. All other frames in the file are delta frames. All seek requests result in a seek to the beginning of the file.
