  When you convert the file to gif format be sure that you have Photoshop
set to output a gif type 89a . You probably have it set to save as an
interlaced gif image and Pov can't handle that format. I believe it can also
handle type 87 but the gif 89 is the newer release and the preferred of the
two.
