There are actually different types of gif files.  Some are interlaced and
some are not.  Pov is not designed to read interlaced gif files.  Do get
arround this, open your picture in an 2d paint program.  Go to the save
options and specify not to save interlaced gifs (Paintshop Pro or LView Pro
will do this), and save your picture again.
